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 28 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The passenger in question was a boy about seven years of age, and even if it could be said that the place where he was deposited was safe for an adult, it does not necessarily follow that it was safe for a young child. ... [I] f one leaves a young child at the same spot, and in its immaturity it wanders into the street and is run over and injured by the street car, could it then be reasonably said that the child had been put in a place of safety? These considerations impel us to the conclusion that it would be too narrow a construction to say that the safety of a place must be determined solely by whether or not one would be safe if he remained in it.””
