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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In regard to the question of the jurisdiction of the district court, our opinion is that the nature of the suit, the injury complained of, and the relief sought were such as to give the district court jurisdiction, independent of the amount of injury alleged. The title and possession of land were so far involved as to make the case one for the district court.””
