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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““When it is necessary for the holder of a superior mortgage lien to foreclose that lien, he may properly sue everybody concerned, including those who have inferior interests which conflict with each other, whether they conflict with his interest or not, and the latter may be permitted to join issues with each other, although the superior lien holder is not concerned therein, and- the court may settle the priority and precedence of the claims of all the parties and dispose of all phases of the .controversy in one decree.” (Ruf v. Grimes, 104 Kan. 335 , Syl. ¶ 5, 179 Pac. 378 .)”
