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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“If negligence were all that the plaintiff were required to prove, he undoubtedly made a case for the jury; but we do not think that Longaker’s failure to see the sign and his maintenance of a speed of 35 miles in crossing a street at 1 o’clock in the morning is evidence of negligence so gross as to justify a finding of “wilful and wanton misconduct.””
