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

On this aspect of the case there can be no question as to the jurisdiction over him for the simple reason that he appeared generally and requested the relief which he received.”
