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.

““It is a matter of basic fairness to the trial court and to opposing counsel, as well as being fundamental to the proper administration of justice; and one need only look at the extensive annotations to Maryland Rules 885 and 1085 to see that it is rigorously enforced. Even errors of Constitutional dimension may be waived by failure to interpose a timely objection at trial (see, for example, Smith v. State, 16 Md.App. 317 [, 295 A.2d 802 ] (1972), cert. den. 267 Md. 744 (1973); Hewitt v. State, 242 Md. 111 [, 218 A.2d 19 ] (1966)), and so may alleged violations of sub-constitutional procedural rules. See Logan v. State, 289 Md. 460, 487 [, 425 A.2d 632 ] (1981).””

1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. Crawford v. State“Gunther must be read as recognizing no more than the principle expressed in the authorities cited in it—that one does not necessarily forfeit his privilege of self-defense because he has previously armed himself in anticipation of an attack. It does not support the existence of any such-right to arm, either as a general affirmative right or as a defense to the violation of a statutory prohibition against possessing or carrying weapons in public.”
