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 57 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Of course, the character and quality of performance required to be exercised in dealing with a minor, and likewise the character and quality of performance by which a minor’s conduct is itself measured, in personal injury cases, must vary according to the circumstances; yet, . there still remains in cases of this character, one method by which to gauge it: Ordinary, reasonable, or due care under the circumstances. Se.e the case of Charbonneau v. MacRury, 84 N.H. 501 , 153 A. 457 , [ 73 A.L.R. 1266 ,] for a very scholarly and illuminating discussion of the question of ordinary care and caution as it applies both to . an infant’s own conduct and the conduct of one toward an infant.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage““It cannot be said, however, that the driver of a school bus may be held to no further duty than that of safely depositing his charge at the customary loading zone, when circumstances would indicate to a reasonably prudent person that a child of tender years might properly require the further precaution of supervision and direction in its departure from the vicinity of the stop. There can be no formula to fit all facts. Efforts to devise one invariably bring us back to this simple statement of the rule: ‘ Ordinary care under the circumstances.’ ” 94 P.2d at 709 .”
1 later decision quote this exact passage““By the great weight of authority the legal measure of duty, except that made absolute by law, in nearly all legal relations, is better expressed by the phrases ‘due care’, ‘reasonable care’, or ‘ordinary care’, terms used interchangeably. * * “The degree of care does not vary with the increase or diminution of danger. It continues to be ordinary in degree, but the quantum of diligence to be used differs under different conditions. * * ””
