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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“An assault is a demonstration of an unlawful intent by one person to inflict immediate injury on the person of another person then present. That is an assault. 7 "A battery is the intentional, unlawful use of force or violence on the person of another or any unlawful beating, or other wrongful physical violence or constraint inflicted on a person without his consent. Unlawful in that sense means unlawfully, civilly or criminally. It does not make any difference.”
