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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(1) A judgment dismissing an action shall be rendered upon application of any party, when the plaintiff fails to appear on the day set for trial. In such case, the court shall determine whether the judgment of dismissal shall be with or without prejudice. (2) The court, on its own motion, may dismiss an action without prejudice when all he parties thereto fail to appear on the day set for trial; however, when a case has been dismissed pursuant to this provision and it is claimed that there is a pending settlement, either party may reinstate the suit within sixty days of receipt of notice of dismissal, and any cause of action which had not been prescribed when the case was originally filed shall be fully reinstated as though the case had never been dismissed.”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage““[T]he trial judge’s knowledge of ‘the condition of his docket, fairness not only to both parties but also to other litigants in his court, and the need for an orderly and prompt administration of justice’ provides him with superior ability to determine the terms of the dismissal.” Id., at 210. (Citations omitted.)”
