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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““This jurisdiction is vested by statute only, and no estoppel, laches or informality of a party can confer it. Neither does failure to raise the question relieve us of the duty to decline, even of our own motion, the exercise of jurisdiction which we do not possess.” (Citing cases.)”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““When the motion for a new trial was decided the time for appeal from the original judgment had already expired. Hence it was necessary in order to present a matter of which we would have jurisdiction to appeal from the order denying the motion for a new trial. This was not done. The notice limited the appeal to the original judgment, or to such part thereof as upheld the validity of the mortgage. . . . This jurisdiction is vested by statute only, and no estoppel, laches or informality of a party can confer it. Neither does failure to raise the question relieve us of the duty to decline, even of our own motion, the exercise of jurisdiction which we do not possess.” (Citing numerous cases.)”
