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

6 later decisions quote this exact passage“In a criminal case a judge of any court, trial or appellate, shall be recused when he:”
5 later decisions quote this exact passage“On the following morning the defendant filed a written motion setting forth that the trial judge was biased, prejudiced and personally interested in the cause to such an extent that he was unable to conduct a fair and impartial hearing, as demonstrated by the court's conduct in essentially two areas. The first was the judge's statement made in the presence of the juror on the morning of the second day of trial and related more particularly hereinabove. The second had to do with the judge's conduct during the course of the trial, i.e., in the manner in which he had overruled defendant's objections and sustained the State's objections, his facial expressions to the court reporter and to the jury, and his disparaging remarks about defendant's objections and motions. A third assertion having to do with the court's ruling excluding certain testimony on cross examination from a State witness, as a means for demonstrating the court's bias hardly warrants discussion. If the Judge ruled incorrectly defense counsel should have perfected a bill of exceptions rather than here complain that the Judge's adverse ruling indicates bias on his part.”
