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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “^ “The prerequisites to the exercise ■of jurisdiction are specifically defined and the plain import of the .statute is that the District Court is vested with authority to inquire at .any time whether these conditions have been met. They are conditions which must be met by the party who ■seeks the exercise of jurisdiction in íais favor. He must allege in his ■pleading the facts essential to show jurisdiction. If he fails to make the necessary allegations he has no standing. If he does make them, .ian inquiry into the existence of jurisdiction is obviously for the purpose of determining whether the facts support his allegations. * * ” ¡[Emphasis added]. •“The authority which the statute J.lit; dU.biiUiil»^' wiiíLaII tilt; otettute vests in the court to enforce the limitations of its jurisdiction pre■eludes the idea that jurisdiction may be maintained by mere averment or that the party asserting jurisdiction may be relieved of his burden by any formal procedure. If his allegations of jurisdictional facts are challenged by his adversary in any appropriate manner, he must support them by competent proof.””
