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 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ * * * and it is also true that the Civil Code provides that 'collation is made only to the succession of the donor,’ and that the Code', in effect, also, provides that, in partitions among co-owners as distinguished from the partition of successions, collation cannot be exacted. C. C. arts. 1242 and 1290, respectively. Granting, therefore, that this is not the partition of a succession, but that it is one among co-owners — and it has been treated as the latter by all of the parties to this suit— then from every standpoint the amount is not an amount to be collated by force of any article of the Code.””
