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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It seems to be the general rule that costs should be awarded either by an order, judgment, or decree, according to the nature of the case, and unless so awarded are unenforceable. . . . No award for cost having been made by the judgment, the claim upon that item was a mere open account . . . because no compulsory process could have issued. . . . One who voluntarily pays the obligation””
