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

1. ““There are some expressions in the charge of the court, which are copied in the brief of counsel for the appellant, that, detached and isolated, as presented to us, seem proper subjects of criticism. But all of this arises from snatching a’ single phrase from its proper connections, and giving it a special, instead of the general application it had. Taking the context, we find no just ground of complaint. Instructions are to be considered and construed together, as a whole; and if not erroneous when so construed, no one of them will be held to be erroneous.” (The State v. Bohan, 19 Kan. 28, 55 .)”

2. ““Where the trial court has had the opportunity of hearing the testimony from the witnesses in person, and of seeing them as they uttered' the same, and has thereon rendered a decision, this court will not hold such decision erroneous as to questions of fact, unless it is clearly apparent that the decision or finding is wholly unsupported by evidence.” (p. 56.)”
