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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Appellant also contends that this action should be treated as an equity proceeding to set aside the judgment on the ground of fraud. However, the fraud in this case that is alleged is intrinsic to the action, and under the rule laid down in Potts v.
