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 196 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[I]t necessarily follows that, as insurance is affected with the public interest, those engaged in it or who bring about its consummation are affected with the same interest and subject to the same regulation as it is. A broker is so engaged, — is an instrument of such consummation .... As said by the Supreme Court of the state: “It is important for the protection of the interest of the people of the state that the business should be in the hands of competent and trustworthy persons.” ... And we may say that this result can be more confidently and completely secured through resident brokers.”
