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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““That men may and do have what is denominated unsound memories, although otherwise of sound mind, is a matter of common knowledge. It is most generally observable in persons of old age, who .have lost the power to remember past events, but no one would class them as insane persons. That such á person might do an act and be perfectly conscious of.it, and of its moral and legal effect, and yet forget it, we take it is not open to dispute.””
