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 26 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Particularly where' the acts to be done more or less affect, or impair, or incumber private property, as in the case at bar, the powers granted must be strictly pursued. Possessing, as these municipal corporations do, the power of assessment and sale of private property, often wielded by the indiscreet or the selfish, the grossest abuses would inevitably follow, if they were not held strictly within the powers granted and the means prescribed for the execution of these powers.””
