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

1. ““An agreement by officers and directors of a mutual benefit insurance association to resign their positions and place others in their stead, for a monetary consideration, is void as against public policy; but, where there is some competent evidence reasonably tending to show that a contract by such officers to sell the office equipment and perform ‘certain services’ did not contemplate such acts as a part of the consideration, it is not error to overrule a demurrer to the evidence and motion for directed verdict interposed by the party asserting such illegality.””
