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 27 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Under the 1967 amendments, it is now clear that the standard for disability is a stringent one. An applicant must be unable to engage in ‘any substantial gainful work which exists in the national economy, regardless of whether such work exists in the immediate area in which he lives, or whether a specific job vacancy exists for him, or whether he would be hired if he applied for work.’ Before the passage of this amendment the courts tended to read the disability standard far more broadly.””
