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.

“"It is also well established that in a petition for writ of error coram nobis, mere naked allegations that a constitutional right has been violated will not suffice. The application should make a full disclosure of the specific facts relied upon and not mere conclusions as to the nature and effect of such facts." Thomas v. State , 274 Ala. 531 , 532 , 150 So.2d 387 (1963) (emphasis added).”
