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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“An employer has a duty to furnish an employee with a reasonably safe place to work. This includes the duty of establishing proper methods of work and adequate supervision of the work and safe equipment with which to perform the work. If the employee is mature and sensible and has had some experience in the work being done, he must look after himself as to all obvious dangers in the details of the work.”
