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 110 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““As both, parties moved for a ruling, and as there was nothing more, according to Beuttell v. Magone, 157 U. S. 154 , it stood admitted that there was no question of fact sufficient to prevent a ruling being made, and the motions together amounted to a request that the court should find any facts necessary to mate it; so that unless the ruling was wrong as matter of law the judgment must stand.” Sena v. American Turquoise Co., 220 U. S. 497 , 501, 31 Sup. Ct. 488 , 490 ( 55 L. Ed. 559 ).”
