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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““A hospital is more than a mere building of four walls and a roof. Webster’s Dictionary defines a hospital as: 'An institution or place where sick or injured persons are given medical or surgical care. ’ A bare and empty building could hardly fit that definition . . . Certainly the equipping of the hospital is an essential part of its construction . . . There is authority for the equipping and furnishing of buildings authorized by Amendment 17.””
