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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Proximate cause is such cause as would probably lead to injury and which has been shown to have led to it. It need not appear from the evidence that the injuries complained of resulted instantly and immediately from the negligence. The law regards the one as the proximate cause of the other without regard to the lapse of time where no other cause intervenes or comes between the negligence charged and the injuries received to contribute to it. There must be nothing to break the casual connection between the alleged negligence and the injuries.” See also Washington v. Baltimore, etc., R. Co., 17 W. Va. 196 ; Stone v. Boston & A. R. Co., 171 Mass. 536 ( 51 N. E. 1 , 41 L. R. A. 794).”
