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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The petition herein admits that the damages which the grantors seek to recover occurred as the consequence of the reasonable and authorized use of the land for which they conveyed it to the State Highway Commission. “To escape the effect of their deed they may not now invoke the rule applying to, and controlling, the right of a landowner to recover damages for property damaged, destroyed, or taken for a public use before just compensation is paid or secured, and without a condemnation proceeding. They are precluded of a recovery by their deed.””
