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 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

The inquiry is, in whose hands it first became available in a sense which would enable that party to maintain an action upon it against the prior parties. One who endorses for the accommodation of a prior party does not thereby become the holder of the bill, nor can he maintain an action upon it, until he has taken it up by paying the amount to a subsequent purchaser.”
