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.

The meaning that must be given to it de- ■’ pends upon the circumstances surrounding the person involved and largely depends upon the present intention of the individual.
