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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“It was eminently fitting that when the proceeding was commenced, the owner should employ counsel and that counsel should forthwith prepare to prove the value of the property before the commissioners. . . . There seems no good reason why this expense should not be one of the items to be paid upon discontinuance. It was incurred solely because the county commenced the proceeding and was thus forced upon the owners, and was a service from which the owners now get no benefit whatever.”
