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 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“While it may be conceded that the Legislature may shorten the statutory period in which actions are to be prosecuted, yet as to the shortened period fixed, such statute can only be operative after the passage of the act. In other words, the Legislature is not authorized to make a statute of limitation retrospective in its operation, and include the period of existence of the cause of action prior to the enactment of the statute.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Telanus v. Simpson“the doctrine that where the action accrued under a former statute and subsequently the statute is changed, fixing a different period, before the action is barred, the full period must elapse as fixed by the later statute.”
