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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“First of all, gross negligence presupposes the existence of a composite of circumstances which, together, constitute an imminent or clear and present danger amounting to more than normal and usual ... peril ... Secondly, gross negligence must be predicated on a showing of chargeable knowledge or awareness of the imminent danger spoken of. And thirdly, the act or omission complained of must occur in a manner which evinces a conscious disregard of consequences, as distinguished from a careless disregard thereof (as in simple negligence) or from the more extreme willful or wanton disregard thereof (as in culpable or criminal negligence). 65”
