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 28 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Where all the conditions upon which the entry of a judgment or order depends exist, and the malting or entry of the order is a mere ministerial duty or matter of course, and the performance of the duty is neglected or delayed, or where an order has actually been made and its entry omitted, we suppose it may be subsequently entered, and, if justice requires, may be made to take effect nunc pro tune as of the date when it was actually made, or at any time when existing conditions imposed upon the court or its officer the duty of entering it.””
