Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“the petition in the instant case contains no allegations showing any right in the plaintiffs to any equitable relief, and prays for none, but merely seeks a judgment against the respondents requiring them to pay over . . . certain sums. . . It is a statutory rule against the named officers, in which neither the pleadings nor the prayers call for equitable relief, and is not a case of which this court has jurisdiction.”
