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.

3 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Morris v. State · Thacker v. State“[PROSECUTOR]: Your Honor, at this time, I’m going to object because I believe, again, there is a kind of inadvertent mistake being made.

THE COURT: Sustained. Couch your question in that manner.”
