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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The bank had authority to take mortgages on real estate (ft. S. 9-101) and to deal in notes. The indebtedness was substantial in amount. The bank took a series of notes secured by the one mortgage. It sold these notes to various purchasers, retaining the mortgage as security for all of them, and thus became a trustee for the holders of the notes. As such trustee it was bound to the utmost good faith (Morrow v. Comm’rs of Saline Co., 21 Kan. 484 ) to keep the mortgaged security intact, and is liable in damages for its failure to do so. (7 C. J. 597; Bank v. Bank, 106 Kan. 303 , 187 Pac. 697 ; Stone v. Bank, 107 Kan. 332 , 190 Pac. 1094 ; Fulton v. Farmers Nat’l Bank, 122 Kan. 400 , 252 Pac. 242 , 123 Kan. 1 , 253 Pac. 561 ; Bock v. First Nat’l Bank, 123 Kan. 304 , 255 Pac. 68 .)””
