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 231 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““But it is said that stevedores only get their rights by a somewhat artificial extension of the word ‘seaman’ and it is argued that a seaman upon a German vessel clearly would not be given the rights claimed. It is said that the word is defined by E.S. § 4612 (U.S.Code, tit. 46 § 713). But that section merely provides that for the purposes of the chapter ‘seaman’ shall include persons who otherwise might be deemed not to be seamen. It is directed to extension not to restriction, as remarked by Judge Crane in Resigno v. F. Jarka Co., 248 N.Y. 225, 242 , 162 N.E. 13 . * * * ””
