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

1. ““The removal of a cause from a state to the federal court- does not depend upon the question of what- issue remains to bo tried, but must be determined by the nature of the cause of action presented in the complaint. If there be but one, involving many defendants, the fact that each makes a separate defense does not make separable controversies; nor does the default of one of them, or his disclaimer of title to the land in controversy, give a right of removal to the contesting defendant, who is a citizen of a state other than that of the plaintiffs. The court will not inquire, on a motion to remand a case to the state court, either as to the truth of the allegations in the pleadings, or the sufficiency of the complaint or bill as such, or whether it states a good cause of action. These matters are for the decision of the court which finally tries the case.””
