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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The appellees were not responsible for the manner in which the clerk kept that index. They had no control over it. Nor does it appear even to have been a record required by law to be kept by the clerk. The marginal memoranda at the head of the pages of the docket which contained the entries of their several suits were equally beyond their control. They or their attorney accomplished all that was required of them when they delivered their papers to the clerk, and those papers were filed, and a memorandum of the filing was entered by the clerk in the docket.”
