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.

“"`"Hence, the rule of stare decisis has long been recognized as the bulwark of American jurisprudence, and unless it is adhered to in this instance what was [the crime of escape under our decision in Alexander v. State ] would now [be no crime]. "`"Such a ruling would do violence to our time-honored tradition of trial courts' reliance on judicial opinions for guidance and freedom from error. It would place the mark of condemnation upon the trial judge who in the exercise of bounden duty looked to the decisions of the appellate court for guidance." State v. Stout , 90 Okla. Cr. 35 , 210 P.2d 199 , 203 (1949).'"”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“While Rule 41 [, Ala. R.App. P.,] stays the issuance of the certificate of judgment, and postpones the final judgment between the parties, it does not prevent a decision of the [appellate court] from having precedential value while the case is pending for review in [the supreme court].” Grantham v. State, 540 So.2d 779, 780 (Ala. 1988). See also, People's Auto Co. v. State, 23 Ala. App. 7, 8 , 121 So. 907, 908 (1928)(noting that,”
