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.

““It has long been determined that the writing of one’s own name with intent to defraud may constitute forgery. Sir William Blackstone said (4 Comm. 250) : ‘If a person puts his own name to an instrument, representing himself to be a different person of that name, with an intent to defraud, he is guilty of forgery.’ ” (Page 378 of 224 Md.; page 873 of 167 A. 2d).”
