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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“* * * A commutation of sentence is a matter of grace or favor. It is subject to rejection or acceptance by the conflict. He has an unfettered election in that regard, and the executive order is not effective or operative until it has been accepted by him. If he prefers to serve out the sentence originally imposed upon him to a suspension of it under the conditions imposed, he has the clear right to do so; but, if he elects to accept the commutation and avails himself of the liberty it confers, he must do so upon the conditions upon which alone it is granted to him.”
