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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““If at the time when any cause of action specified in this article shall accrue against any person he shall be out of this state, such action may be commenced within the times herein respectively limited, after the return of such person into the state; and if, after such cause of action shall have accrued, such person shall depart from or reside out of this state, the time of his absence shall not be deemed or taken as any part of the time limited for the commencement of such action.” (2 R. S. 297, sec. 27.)”
