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.

“. . We feel that Boykin imposed only that requirement of an affirmative record showing of a voluntary and intelligent plea. The remainder of the opinion does expressly discuss the three enumerated constitutional rights. We feel, however, that these rights were set out to demonstrate the gravity of the trial court’s responsibility, but that no procedural requirement was imposed that they be enumerated. The main purpose is ‘. . .to make sure [the accused] has full understanding of what the plea connotes and of its consequence.’ ” 395 U.S. at 244 , 89 S.Ct. at 1712 .”
