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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“* * * A claim of title under a parol gift, accompanied by entry and adverse holding for 10 years, ripens into a good title. * * * But, under the present record, the proof was not sufficient to comply with these authorities. And the clearest and most satisfactory evidence is required as to the fact of gift, the identity of the land, and the exclusiveness of the possession. 28 C.J. 680. See also 38 C.J.S., Gifts, § 57, page 843.”
