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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The power to appoint a receiver is, of course, a harsh and dangerous one. Kory v. Less, 180 Ark. 342 , 22 S.W.2d 25 (1929). “The cases in which receivers ordinarily will be appointed are confined to those in which it can be established to the satisfaction of a court that the appointment of a receiver is necessary to save the property from injury or threatened loss or destruction, or that the claimants in possession are excluding another party from rights which the latter has in the land.” Saylor v. Hilton, 190 Ky. 200 , 226 S.W.2d 1067 (1921).”

To the contrary, a partnership is a contractual relationship that may vary, in form and substance, in an almost infinite variety of ways.”
