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.
““The question of proximate cause, negligence and contributory negligence is primarily one of fact for determination by the" duly constituted arbiters thereof. Though it be conceded that defendant was strictly within the law as to the ‘right of way,’ there is sufficient evidence in the record to warrant an inference by the jury that he did not use, as was his duty, the required ordinary care and skill in the control and operation of his vehicle to avoid an accident.””
