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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Diligence” is the application of a constant effort to accomplish an undertaking; it is that constancy or steadiness of purpose or labor which is usual with men [or women] engaged in like enterprises, who desire speedy accomplishment of their designs; it is that assiduity in the prosecution of an enterprise as manifests an intent to complete it within a reasonable time; the doing of an act or series of acts with practical expediency and without delay.”
