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 42 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““A motion to nonsuit presents the question whether the evidence considered in the light most favorable to plaintiff is sufficient to be submitted to the jury. Walker v. Story, 256 N.C. 453 , 124 S.E. 2d 113 . Discrepancies and contradictions in plaintiff’s evidence are for the jury, not the court. Clinard v. Trust Co., 264 N.C. 247 , 141 S.E. 2d 271 . Plaintiff is entitled to every reasonable inference to be drawn from his evidence. Pinyan v. Settle, 263 N.C. 578 , 139 S.E. 2d 863 .””

Sidbury’s corner on the Sound, running thence with Sidbury’s line across the Banks South 25 East 66 poles to a stake at the edge of the ocean; thence with the edge of the ocean North 53 East 107 poles [1765.5 feet] to Fredrick Ruhe’s line; thence with Ruhe’s line North 25 West 88 poles to Crooked Creek; thence with the meander of said creek to the beginning. . .”
1 later decision quote this exact passage““If a particular corner is unknown and cannot be determined by adhering to the directions in the sequence specified, it is permissible to go to a subsequent known or established corner and by reversing the direction fix the location of the unknown corner. This backtracking is permissible only because it permits the location of an otherwise unknown corner.””
