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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[njothing can be more fundamental in representative government than that no one may [be] deprived of life, liberty, or property [without] due process of law. And the most rudimentary requirement of due process ... is that [a] landowner shall know that his land is being taken or is about to be taken.... Whatever else may be uncertain about the definition of the term “due process of law” all authorities agree that it inhibits the taking of one man’s property and giving it to another, contrary to settled usages and modes of procedure, and Without notice or an opportunity for a hearing.”
