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 19 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ We are clearly of the opinion that the last act does not cover the entire subject-matter of the former act, and that there is no irreconcilable repugnancy between the two acts. They can stand together. Both can be executed. There is nothing in this case to induce us to relax the strict rules of construction.””
