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.
““ * * * ‘If, under this statute, it was given to a party to refuse to obey the orders of a court by merely submitting to a fine of $100 and three days’ imprisonment, and then go free, still contumacious of the order of the court, the court would be rendered powerless to enforce its orders. * * * So far as the statute with reference to punishments for contempt is concerned, that is a mode of enforcing the rights of the court and of preserving its respect and dignity. It is a punishment. The other is not a punishment, but a specific mode of enforcing a particular duty.’ See also Ex parte Klugsberg, 126 Tex. 225 , 87 S.W.2d 465 ; 9 Tex.Jur. sec. 26, p. 611.” (Tex.Jur. citation now is 12 Tex.Jur.2d 511-512, Sec. 33-34.)”
