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 32 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

Trustees of the German Luth. Ch., &c., v. Heise & Co., 44 Md. 469 .” (Emphasis added.)”
