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 32 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It has been uniformly held by the appellate courts of this state that the burden of proof always rests upon the party assailing the transaction for fraud. 1 '*' “Nor is the rule in this respect in any wise to be altered by reason of the fact that in the transaction assailed one of the parties to it is shown to have undertaken to commit a fraud against the right of the plaintiff. The fact that Wherry has fraudulently intended, in this conveyance of his property to defendant, to hinder and defraud his other creditors, among whom was the plaintiff, does not operate to change the rule of evidence, or to relieve the plaintiff from making good the allegations of fraud against the defendant in connection with that transaction, or shift the burden upon the shoulders of defendant to show its honesty so far as concerns himself.””
