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 19 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

The period of time within which the inquiry shall be confined is probably one, to some extent at least, in the discretion of the court, the jury being left to weigh the evidence according as it may tend more or less strongly to show the true character of the witness at the time of the trial.”
