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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

Frankle v. Twedt, 1951, 234 Minn. 42 , 47 N. W. 2d 482 ; Tschida v. Dorle, 1952, 235 Minn. 461 , 51 N. W. 2d 561 .
