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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(a) must not have provoked or been the aggressor in the assault; (b) must believe that he is faced with the danger of having death, great bodily harm or a felony inflicted upon him; (c) must have reasonable grounds for such belief; (d) must not use more force than reasonably appears necessary to him under the circumstances to resist the danger with which he reasonably believes he is confronted; (e) before resorting to extreme measures, he must do everything within his power consistent with his own safety to otherwise avoid the danger, and must retreat, if retreat is practicable; and (f) must act in response to some unlawful force.”
