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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The complainants cannot be heard to say that they were lulled into inaction by erroneous advice of an attorney. We do no intimate that this advice was erroneous, but observe that the omissions, as well as the commissions, of an attorney are to be regarded as the acts of the client whom he represents, and his neglect is equivalent to the neglect of the client himself. See 7 C.J.S. Attorney and Client § 67.”
