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 23 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Tlie will in tills case does not dispense with a bond, and none being given, and no commission being issued, appellant never became tlie guardian of tlie minors. It is but as if the county court should designate of record the appointment of a person as a guardian, and lie were never to give bond or receive letters of guardianship. He could not, by such an order, become a legal guardian, because the statute has made a bond indispensable.””
