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 32 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“* * * [E]xercise of * * * [United States’] regulatory and police powers, * * * [does] not fall within the fifth amendment limitation, although taking of private property often resulted. [Cites omitted.] The distinction between an exercise of the eminent domain power that is compensable under the fifth amendment and an exercise of the police power is that in a compensable exercise of the eminent domain power, a property interest is taken from the owner and applied to the public use because the use of such property is beneficial to the public * * * [whereas] in the exercise of the police power, the owner’s property interest is restricted or infringed upon because his continued use of the property is or would otherwise be injurious to the public welfare. * * [Emphasis added.]”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“* * * not every deprivation of use, possession, or control is a “taking”. It is the character and extent of an invasion of property rights which are determinative. [Cites omitted.] It is equally clear that not all takings of property are compensable.”
