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 19 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ ‘The presumption, of course, arises that the instrument is what it purports on its face to be — an absolute conveyance of the land. To overcome this presumption, and to establish its character as a mortgage, the cases agree that the evidence must be clear, unequivocal, and convincing.’ To same effect is Runyon’s Adm’r v. Pogue, 42 S.W. 910 , 19 Ky.Law Rep. 940, and 41 C.J. p. 356, § 124, and notes on pp. 357 and 359.””
