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 46 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Upon the suggestion of prejudice being made . . . the judge, prompted by that sense of delicacy and duty which renders him averse to judicial action upon an intimation of his interest in the matter at issue, will retire and call in another to try the case. . . . Such a course would indicate a high sense of official duty, as well as a dispassionate purpose on the part of the judge to free the case from even an intimation that he could not fairly conduct it.”
