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

Prine, 277 Ala. 402, 403 , 171 So. 2d 110 ; Franklin v. State, ex rel. Trammell, 275 Ala. 92, 93 , 152 So.2d 158 .” (Emphasis ours.)”
