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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Beyond the fact that something was to be done to the chutes, we know nothing of its character or extent. It may have been some considerable matter, related only remotely to interstate transportation, and, as the plaintiff was bound to show that it was ‘so closely related to it as to be practically a part of it,’ we think it plain that in any aspect of the question the District Court was right in holding that the case broke down for lack of proof.””
