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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[a difficulty] arises from the necessity of distinguishing between the use of such facts evidentially and their use as involving a standard of conduct in substantive law... . To take [a defendant's] conduct as furnishing a sufficient legal standard of negligence would be to abandon the standard set by the substantive law, and would be improper... . The proper method is to receive it, with an express caution that it is merely evidential and is not to serve as a legal standard.”
