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.

““ * * * As the court imposed sentences authorized by statute, the rea sonableness of the sentences is not a matter which we may review. Af-fronti v. United States, 8 Cir., 145 F. 2d 3 ; Egan v. United States, 8 Cir., 268 F.2d 820 ; Jacobsen v. United States, 8 Cir., 260 F.2d 122 ; Holmes v. United States, 8 Cir., 115 F.2d 528 ; Johnson v. United States, 8 Cir., 126 F.2d 242 ; Holmes v. United States, 8 Cir., 134 F.2d 125 . As said by us in Affronti v. United States, supra: ‘The court imposed a sentence authorized by statute. This Court cannot concern itself with the question of the reasonableness of the sentence. “Where a District Court imposes a sentence authorized by a statute of the United States, it commits no error of law.” Holmes v. United States, 8 Cir., 115 F.2d 528 , 529; Johnson v. United States, 8 Cir., 126 F.2d 242 , 251; Holmes v. United States, 8 Cir., 134 F.2d 125 , 135.’ ( 145 F.2d 10 .).””
