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 41 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Every dollar which Yale University has received or may receive, by gift or otherwise, is irrevocably dedicated to a public charitable use....

New Haven, 71 Conn. 316 , 333.”
