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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““So, as expressed in the Act of 1919, above quoted, after all ‘the pleadings’ required by the act have been filed, either party may move for ‘judgment on the pleadings’, which may be entered for the litigant found entitled thereto, though he may not be the one who made the motion . . .; but no judgment can properly be entered thereon unless, after assuming the truth of the facts averred by the party against whom judgment is to be entered, it clearly appears that the other is entitled to such judgment as a matter of law. . . .””
