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 27 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““. . . it is well settled that ‘a demurrer on the ground of the bar of the statute of limitations does not lie where the complaint merely shows that the action may have been barred. It must affirmatively appear that, upon the facts stated, the right of action is necessarily barred.’ (Pike v. Zadig, 171 Cal. 273, 277 [ 152 P. 923 ] ; Curtiss v. Aetna Life Ins. Co., 90 Cal. 245, 250 [ 27 P. 211 , 25 Am.St.Rep. 114 ].)””
