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.

“[s]urvival of causes of action arise only through the medium of so-called `survival statutes.'”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage“[a] cause of action shall not be lost or destroyed by the death of any person, but shall survive in favor of or against the executor or administrator of the deceased person.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“`A proceeding in rem is essentially a proceeding to determine the right in specific property, against all the world, equally binding on everyone.' 1 Am.Jur.2d, Actions, 40. Conceptually, `in rem' jurisdiction is based upon a court's control over a `res' rather than a defendant as a person.”
