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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“We all respect the ancient rule stated by Chief Justice Marshall in The Schooner Hoppet & Cargo v. United States, 11 U.S. (7 Craneh) 389, 394, 3 L.Ed. 380 (1813): The rule that a man shall not be charged with one crime and convicted of another, may sometime cover real guilt, but its observance is essential to the preservation of innocence. . . .”
