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.

““It has been held—and we think correctly—that, in cases of this kind, the power of the court being special, and not exercised according to the course of the common law, its decisions must be regarded and treated like those of courts of limited and special jurisdiction; and that jurisdiction in such cases, although the court be one of general jurisdiction, must appear by the record, as to both subject matter and the person.””
