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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ It was the province of the jury to determine the damages plaintiff should recover, if any, but these damages should be determined from the evidence, and from that alone; and an instruction which does not restrict the jury to the evidence is improper.””
