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 27 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"The elements of the crime of theft (LSA-R.S. 1467) are (1) that there be a misappropriation or taking; (2) that the misappropriation or taking be of a thing of value, (3) that the thing belonged to another, and (4) that the misappropriation or taking be with the intent to deprive the other permanently of that which is the subject of the taking."”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“A. Any person who, having a specific intent to commit a crime, does or omits an act for the purpose of and tending directly toward the accomplishing of his object is guilty of an attempt to commit the offense intended; and it shall be immaterial whether, under the circumstances, he would have actually accomplished his purpose. * * * C. An attempt is a separate but lesser grade of the intended crime; and any person may be convicted of an attempt to commit a crime, although it appears on the trial that the crime intended or attempted was actually perpetrated by such person in pursuance of such attempt.”
