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.

Borden, 3 Blatchf. 535 [Fed. Cas. No. 12,832], it must be done in substantially the same way. Burr v. Duryee, 1 Wall. 531 [ 17 L. Ed. 650 , 660, 661].””
