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.
“The question is one of great public importance, and all persons, including taxpayers, who are not seeking to escape the payment of taxes, will probably agree that unless the statute clearly so requires, an assessment roll will not be stricken down in its entirety, and the public be thereby deprived of all taxes thereon, merely because of an invalid order attempting to raise assessments thereon that were theretofore legally made. ( 158 Miss. at 514 , 130 So. at 683 ).”
