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 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““We shall not undertake to analyze the evidence or review the grounds which led the court below to conclude that error was committed in submitting the case to the jury, because we think it is adequate to say that after a careful examination of the record, we see no reason for holding that the court below erred in so holding. As regards, however, the ruling on the motion for judgment non obstante veredicto, it is apparent, in view of the recent decision in Slocum v. Insurance Co., 228 U. S. 364 , that error was committed. It follows that our duty is * * * to affirm the judgment of reversal and to modify by reversing so much of the action of the court below as directed a judgment in favor of the defendant.” Young etc. v. Central Railroad Company of New Jersey, 232 U. S. 602 ( 34 S. Ct. 451 , 58 L. Ed. 750 ).”
