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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ ‘A party may appeal from a judgment rendered in his favor, and at his own instance, to correct any errors in it.’ “As a matter of course, a mere declaration by either judge or jury, or by both, that a judgment is one in favor of a defendant, when in reality it is one against him, can have no effect as against the facts disclosed by the record.””
