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

He maintained and supported himself and his wife out of his own means, and no one could detect any change in the condition of his affairs which would lead him to suppose that the old gentleman had ceased to be the owner of the house in which he had lived so long.
