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.
““We cite the case, not as precedent, but because the soundness of its reasoning commends itself to us, and because it amplifies the argument upon which the same court announced through Judge Augustus N. Hand that the statute must be given a reasonable construction, United States v. Dennett, 2 Cir., 39 F.2d 564 , 76 A.L.R. 1092 , and relies upon the similar reasoning of Judge Mack, then speaking for the Court of Appeals of the Seventh Circuit, in Bours v. United States, 229 F. 960 . Such rule of reasonable construction is also implicit in the holdings of the Supreme Court on an earlier form of the same act. Dysart v. United States, 272 U.S. 655 , 47 S.Ct. 234 , 71 L.Ed. 461 ; Swearingen v. United States, 161 U.S. 446, 450 , 16 S.Ct. 562 , 40 L.Ed. 765 .””
