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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"... All findings of fact are necessarily mere conclusions or inferences drawn from the evidence; that is, drawn from other facts. It is therefore not a valid objection to a finding that it is the finding of a compound fact, or a complex fact, or a comprehensive fact, and including many minor and subordinate facts; or that it is a conclusion or an inference from the evidence or from other facts, for all findings must necessarily be subject to these same objections. ( Railroad Co. v. Plunkett, 25 Kan. 188 .) The finding, though a general one, is a conclusion of fact of a complex character, drawn from a variety of other facts more simple and less complicated in their nature...." (l.c. 145.)”
