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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“It is elementary that ‘[t]he United States, as sovereign, is immune from suit save as it consents to be sued ..., and the terms of its consent to be sued in any court define that court’s jurisdiction to entertain this suit.’ United States v. Sherwood, 312 U.S. 584, 586 [ 61 S.Ct. 767, 769 , 85 L.Ed. 1058 ] (1941). A waiver of sovereign immunity ‘cannot be implied but must be unequivocally expressed.’ United States v. King, 395 U.S. 1, 4 [ 89 S.Ct. 1501, 1503 , 23 L.Ed.2d 52 ] (1969). In the absence of clear congressional consent, then, ‘there is no jurisdiction ... in any ... court to entertain suits against the United States.’ United States v. Sherwood, supra, at 587-588 [ 61 S.Ct. at 770 .]”
