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 29 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“the role of this Court is to determine on the entire record whether the Secretary's finding is supported by 'substantial evidence.' Lovett v. Schweiker, 667 F.2d 1 (5th Cir.1981); Cagle v. Califano, 638 F.2d 219 (10th Cir.1981). 'Substantial evidence' is more than a 'mere scintilla' of evidence. Richardson v. Perales, 402 U.S. 389 , 401, 91 S.Ct. 1420 [1427, 28 L.Ed.2d 842], Smith v. Schweiker, 646 F.2d 1075 , 1083 (5th Cir.1981). It is evidence which a reasonable mind would accept as being adequate to support a conclusion. Richardson v. Perales, 402 U.S. at 401, 91 S.Ct. at 1427; Smith v. Schweiker, 646 F.2d at 1083.”

Schweiker“Sedentary work involves lifting no more than 10 pounds at a time and occasionally lifting or carrying articles like docket files, ledgers, and small tools. Although a sedentary job is defined as one which involves sitting, a certain amount of walking and standing is often necessary in carrying out job duties. Jobs are sedentary if walking and standing- are required occasionally and other sedentary criteria are met.”
