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 34 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The equal protection of the laws within the meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment does not require exact equality. Norvell v. Illinois, 373 U.S. 420 , 83 S.Ct. 1366 , 10 L.Ed.2d 456 (1963), reh. denied, 375 U.S. 870 , 84 S.Ct. 27 , 11 L.Ed.2d 99 . It is only arbitrary and invidious discrimination that is condemned. Ferguson v. Skrupa, 372 U.S. 726 , 83 S.Ct. 1028 , 10 L. Ed.2d 93 (1963).””
