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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““As we understand the modern practice, any person feeling that he has an interest in the litigation may apply to the court, and be permitted to intervene and become a party, and have his rights passed upon on the hearing; and the court will permit him to become such party on a proper showing. He would, of course, not be permitted to intermeddle when he had no substantial interest in the subject matter of the suit” (Our emphasis.)”
