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 39 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““By these direct and plain provisions of the statute, the person possessing or transporting intoxicating liquor contrary to law has no property rights in it. When its illegal possession or transportation begins, it at once becomes the property of the state. One searching for and seizing it does not search for and seize property of the person in illegal possession, and, if the state makes the seizure, it is but taking possession of its own property.””
