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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““If the guardian made a mistake in his settlement, and credited himself honestly with credits to which he was not entitled, the action to correct this settlement is certainly an action for relief for mistake, within the meaning of this section; and if he did not act honestly, but fraudulently charged himself with less than he had received, or fraudulently credited himself with money he had not expended, as alleged by appellees, the case falls equally within the statute; and, by its plain terms, the action must be brought, in any event, within 10 years after the ward arrived at age.””
