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

An excellent discussion of this question is made by Justice Hale in O’Quinn v. Scott, (Tex.Civ.App. [1952]) [sic], 251 S.W.2d 168 , writ of error ref’d.”
