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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““After the orders of sale and confirmation of the county court have become executed by the deed from the guardian to the purchaser, and they become final, they are no longer subject to the jurisdiction of the county court for the reason that the orders are then muniments of title to the land involved, and the power to annul them involves the exercise of power to try title to land; and the district court alone can try such title.””
