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.
““the statute uses the term ‘willfully’. The trial court correctly instructed the jury that: ‘In law the use of the words “wilful” and “willfully” generally imply a conscious purpose to do wrong. Doing, a thing knowingly and willfully implies not only a knowledge of the thing done, but a determination to do it with evil purpose or motive. . . .’ ‘Willful,’ as applied to this section of the Act, implies not merely a conscious purpose to do wrong, but a specific intent to deprive [someone] of a right. 336 F.2d at 515 . (emphasis added)”
