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.

“Rule 15(a) declares that leave to amend “shall be freely given when justice so requires”.... If the underlying facts or circumstances relied upon by a plaintiff may be a proper subject of relief, he ought to be afforded an opportunity to test this claim on the merits.... The leave sought should, as the rules require, be “freely given.””
