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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““When the statute requires that the amount in controversy ‘exceeds the sum * * * of $10,000, exclusive of interest and costs * * * ’ it makes no difference whether the interest which is sought accumulated upon the principal obligation sued upon because of contract, or by common law, or by statute, or whether the interest be termed a penalty or damages, so long as it is an incident arising solely by virtue of a delay in payment. Merrigan v. Metropolitan Life Ins. Co., D.C.E.D.La. 1942, 43 F.Supp. 209 ; Reynolds v. Reynolds, D.C.W.D.Ark., 1946, 65 F. Supp. 916 ;””
