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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““But whether so or not, we construe the present statute requiring the county to bear the cost of acquiring a right of way and damages incurred by reason thereof or as an incident of construction by the State Highway Commission of state roads as not embracing liability for such damages as is claimed in this case, under such conditions as is described. The thought of the Legislature expressed in the phrase ‘damages incurred’ was undoubtedly damages incident to the acquisition of a right of way in the exercise of the power of eminent domain.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““Except as otherwise provided in this section and in KRS 177.070, all cost of acquiring any necessary land or right of way for primary road purposes and all damages incurred shall be paid by the county.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“Under the emphatic provisions of sections 13 and 242 of the Constitution, requiring that compensation be made for the taking of private property for public use, we have held many times that though there was no actual taking in the sense of reducing to possession, if there was a physical invasion of the property or actual damage thereto, such as by causing subsidence through the weakening or destruction of lateral support, or the diversion of water, or flooding of property, the owner must be compensated.”
