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 19 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““This is a writ of error to a judgment which reversed the judgment of the trial court' and remanded the cause. In order to give this court jurisdiction, it was alleged in the petition for the writ of error that the decision of the Court of Civil Appeals practically settles the case. We have carefully examined the case and have found no error in the rulings of that court. We refer to the able opinion of the Chief Justice, who spoke for the court, for the grounds upon which our conclusions are based.””
