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 27 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ Cases cannot be brought to this court in parcels. We must have the whole case or none. The court below must settle all the merits before we can accept jurisdiction. Appeals will lie, as has been frequently held, when nothing remains to be done except to enforce and give effect to what has been decreed; but until all the rights of the parties have been finally passed upon and settled, this cannot be the condition of a cause. nothing must be left below when an appeal is taken but to execute the decree.””
