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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Appellees' answer to the original complaint setting up the seven year's statute of limitations presents a complete defense to appellant's complaint under section 3347, Code 1915 [83-102, 1929 Complied Laws]. This being a foreign judgment, the question as to whether appellant, for seven years preceding the filing of the complaint, had been absent from or living within the state was wholly immaterial, as section 3352 [83-107 1929], which exempts the application of the statute of limitations because of absence from the state, applied only to judgments rendered within the state.”
