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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The disposal of cases on motion for judgment on the pleadings is not favored by the courts. Bancroft’s Pleading, vol. 1, p. 921. Thus the pleadings must be clearly bad in order to justify a judgment in favor of the other party, and if there is any reasonable doubt as to its sufficiency, judgment on the pleadings will not be rendered. Martin v. Mutaloke, 187 Okl. 613 , 105 P.2d 413 .” (Emphasis added.)”
