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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““* * * We gave this statute careful consideration in Bond v. Pennsylvania R. Co. 124 Minn. 195 , 144 N. W. 942 , and reached the conclusion that where the provisions of the statute were complied with, the action was deemed begun when the summons was delivered to the proper officer for service, not merely for the purpose of avoiding the bar of the statute of limitations, but for all purposes.””
