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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In the case of Hanson v. Towle, Adm’r, 19 Kan. 273 , it was held that, to prevent the running of the statute of limitations upon an indebtedness, there must be an unqualified and direct admission of a present subsisting debt on which the party is liable. This part of the opinion has never been changed or modified and is the law of the state to-day.””
