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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Plaintiffs assert that the evidence does not sustain a gift to the defendant; that no consideration was plead or proven. Love and affection are certainly a valid consideration, and the deed itself recites a consideration. For that matter, the evidence is clear that the defendant accepted the gift if it were one and the finding of the court, which inheres in the judgment, that if-it-were a gift that all elements of a valid, gift inter, viv.os were present is not clearly against the weight of the evidence.””
