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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“We do not believe that the rule denying the recovery of exemplary damages, in the absence of recovery of actual damages, should be extended so as to permit the recovery of actual damages against one defendant and exemplary damages against another defendant. The recovery of exemplary damages is not allowed as a matter of right or as compensation but only as an incident to and enhancement of the actual damages.”
