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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"In this case the motion and grounds for new trial had been overruled, and, nothing having been shown or -intimated necessitating any further action in the case, delay in pronouncing judgment could have in no way been beneficial to appellant. The action of the court, if erroneous, was not prejudicial to his substantial rights.””
