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

It is an action for a “debt,” as that word in the statutes of limitations has been interpreted, and hence it is governed by the two-years statute.”
