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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“It seems to me therefore, that the statute of limitations was tolled or suspended in the instant case because the defendants were nonresidents of and absent from the State of South Carolina. The Legislature did not provide for any exception in the tolling or suspension statute neither does [§ 15-9-370] allowing for substituted service on non-resident motorists contain any specific exception to the provisions of the tolling or suspension statute contained in [§ 15-3-30]. I do not believe that I should read into the statute such an exception. It is entirely a matter for the Legislature.”
