Most-quoted passages

““ * * * The files and records of this case disclose clearly that at the time the sentence was imposed, the court was vested with jurisdiction; the sentence was within the limits authorized by law; there was no denial of defendant’s constitutional rights and no other infirmities that would render the judgment vulnerable to attack.””
