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.
““The reasoning of that decision as to the right of a state to exclude actions of the kind here in question fully sustains the validity, under the federal constitution, of the provision of the injuries act above referred to. . . .
