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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The motorist on the favored highway is favored, but he is not absolved from keeping a lookout ahead to see if another vehicle is in or about to enter an intersection ; he may assume ordinarily that non-favored travelers will yield the right-of-way, but there is a point in time and circumstance when a favored motorist is no longer warranted in indulging such an assumption and, if that issue is presented, a jury question also is presented. * * *.””

Taylor““Whether that carelessness [of the motorist on the inferior road] is the only proximate cause depends on whether the other driver had reasonable time and opportunity to avoid the collision after he is able to apprehend the negligence of the first motorist."”
