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

1. ““However wise a man may he, however sound his judgment, and however accurate his knowledge and understanding; nevertheless, he is hound to subordinate to the wisdom, judgment, knowledge and understanding of a superior court, whose order is the law of the case, until modified, or until reversed by higher authority.””

2. ““To hold that an order improvidently issued can be violated with impunity is to invite litigants to resort to the use of force sufficient to maintain their rights as they understand them to be. Such a policy should not be adopted in a system of law that prides itself upon having a remedy for every wrong.””
