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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““There is some evidence as to the defendant’s good character for peace and quietness. In a doubtful case, evidence of character for peace and quietness is to be taken the same as any other evidence by the jury, and weighed with the other evidence; but, if there is no doubt, evidence of good character does not amount to anything.” (53 N. J. L., at page 47)”
