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.

“(a) make such inquiry as may satisfy him that there is factual basis for the plea; 1 (b) address the defendant personally and determine that the plea is made voluntarily with understanding of the nature of the charge; (c) cause a record to be made at the time the Rule 11 proceedings are held which clearly demonstrates compliance with the Rule; (d) he may when possible but is not required to address the defendant and thus satisfy himself from the defendant’s own statements, given in open court and on the record that he, in fact, committed the crime charged.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Clewley v. State““Automatic per se invalidation of a guilty plea for a failure to compliance with the methodology of Rule 11 is avoided by the requirement that the review of the validity of a guilty plea, as having been voluntarily and understandingly made, must be undertaken as an incident of post-conviction proceedings in which a supplemental record may be made by introduction of additional evidence unrestricted as to source, — provided that it is admissible under evidentiary principles.” Morgan v. State, supra, 287 A.2d, at 598.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“We agree that Boykin holds that a State Court reviewing a record appropriately before it under the system of review provided by the State would commit reversible constitutional error were it to sustain the guilty plea even though the record under review fails to reveal, over and above the formal entry of the guilty plea itself, an adequate affirmative showing of additional underlying factual information to support the conclusion that the plea was voluntarily and understandingly made.”
