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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The last expression of opinion by this court on that subject will be found in Succession of Witting, 121 La. 501 , 46 So. 606 [15 Ann. Cas. 379], and Girault v. Feucht, 120 La. 1070 , 46 So. 26 . In the first of these two mentioned cases this court declared that: “ ‘The burden is on the vendor to prove lesion beyond moiety by evidence peculiarly strong and convincing, and of such a nature as to exclude speculation and conjecture. The highest estimation, under the rule cannot be adopted as the true' measure of value. The court referred, in making this declaration, to a prior announcement to the same effect in Girault v. Feucht.’ ””
