Most-quoted passages

These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  1. ““The terms ‘physical pain,’ ‘illness,’ and ‘impairment of physical condition’ are terms of common usage, and when construed ‘according to the fair import of their terms,’ in the context used in Section 1.07(a)(7), supra, are not ‘so vague that men of common intelligence must necessarily guess at its meaning and differ as to their application.’ [citations omitted] A person of ordinary intelligence, who would be law abiding, can determine with reasonable precision what conduct it is his duty to avoid.””
