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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"There was an attempt on the part of the plaintiff to show that the defendant did consent, but there was an utter failure so to do. There was offered no competent evidence to show that the defendant did so consent; most of that offered the court expressly ruled out as incompetent; and, as the facts were found by the court and not by a jury, we must presume that the court considered only the competent evidence. And especially is this so when, as here, the finding is in accord with what it should have been if illegal evidence was not considered."”
