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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is a fundamental rule concerning judgments that a determination of any matter by a court of competent jurisdiction is conclusive as to the law and the facts found and adjudged between the parties to the litigation and their privies. The aim and object of judicial proceedings is to end disputes. There could be no end of litigation if the same issue might be contested by the same parties an indefinite number of times.””
