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.

““Residence is a word of varied meanings, ranging from domicil down to personal presence with some slight degree of permanence ... It means ‘in general a personal presence at some place of abode with no present intention of definite and early removal and with a purpose to remain for an undetermined period, not infrequently but not necessarily combined with a design to stay permanently. ’ Jenkins v. North Shore Dye House, Inc., 277 Mass. 440 , 444” Rummel v. Peters, 314 Mass. 504 .”
