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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The court did not enter the judgment it intended to enter, nor that authorized by what appeared in the record. Such errors may be corrected at any time, and after a long while, upon motion, or the court may and ought to correct them ex mero motu as soon as it sees them. This is necessary and proper, to the end the record shall speak the truth. The object is to make the record show what the court, in fact, resolved, intended, and in contemplation of law did.” (Page 473.)”
