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.
““The purpose of the ordinance * * * is to raise revenue for the city, not to make that which was theretofore valid invalid if the ordinance is not complied with, or to impinge upon the right of real estate agents to make contracts. Whether or not the plaintiff is a licensed real estate agent is no concern of the defendant. As was said in the Prince Case [ 20 Mo. App. 332 ], it was essentially, and we might add exclusively, a matter between the city and the plaintiff. There are authorities in other states to the contrary, but they have not been followed in this state. * * * ””
