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 24 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

[Wjhere a litigant calls his adversary as for cross-examination ... the testimony thus obtained is conclusively taken to be true if it is not rebutted by other evidence [citation omitted]____ Again, this general rule that a party calling his opponent as for cross-examination is [bound] by this testimony is subject to the exceptions that there may be such a degree of improbability in the statements themselves as to deprive them of credit, or that the circumstances themselves may constitute sufficient contradiction [citations omitted].”
