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 62 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In all cases, except those provided for by these statutes, a court has no authority to disturb its judgment after the lapse of the term. This has been so universally ruled, that citations would be to become superfluous. “The defendants, therefore, are in no position to lay hold of either of these two statutes, and the original judgment was .wrongfully set aside after the lapse of the term, unless such action can be upheld upon one of the other two theories remaining to be discussed.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage““ * * * General rules of court, like general principles of law, are subject to exceptions when justice cries out for the exception. Court rules are mere ends to the attainment of justice, and are not to be twisted into instruments of injustice. Courts, about the exalted office of dispensing justice, are not to have their functions starved and atrophied by a mere phrase or rule, in an exceptional case calling for a suspension of the rule as a debt due to justice.””
