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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In the matter of developing their public works, municipalities are dealing with their own property, and in consequence may prescribe such conditions as they see fit. ‘The principle that justifies these discriminations is that the common property of the state belongs to the people of the state, and hence that, in any distribution of that property, the citizen may be preferred.’ People v. Crane, 214 N.Y. 154 , 108 N.E. 427 [L.R.A.1916D, 550, Ann.Cas.1915B, 1254]. See, also, Atkin v. Kansas, 191 U.S. 207 , 24 S.Ct. 124 , 48 L.Ed. 148 . “Obviously it is a denial of the equal protection of the laws when a lawmaking body, regulating, not its own property, but private business, undertakes to deny to aliens the right to engage in lawful trade or labor; but it is difficult to comprehend how there can be any such violation when the Government, in its capacity of owner ánd proprietor of property, refuses to allow an alien the right to share therein on equal terms with those for whom the property involved is held in sovereign trust. In such circumstances aliens are denied participation in the property, for the simple reason that they do not own it, either in whole or in part, and in consequence have no right to share its enjoyment.””
