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.

““Appellee, in attempting to establish that the police officers had probable cause to conduct the search point out that appellant Atherton and Silcox were ‘suspicious persons’ known to both Bishop and Hutchison. We find this argument to be blatantly offensive. It will be a sad day indeed when this court sanctions the detention and search of persons and their property on the mere allegation that they are of suspicious character.””

2 later decisions quote this exact passage““ ‘No just interest of the Government in the effective and rigorous enforcement of the criminal law will be hampered by recognizing that anyone legitimately on the premises where a search occurs may challenge its legality by way of a motion to suppress, when its fruits are proposed to be used against him.’ Jones v. United States (1960), 362 U.S. 257, 267 , 80 S.Ct. 725 , 734, 4 L.Ed.2d 697, 706 .

United States, (1967) 389 U.S. 347 , 88 S.Ct. 507 , 19 L.Ed.2d 576 .””
