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.

2. “"While the age of majority might be considered somewhat arbitrary, whether it is eighteen (18) or twenty-one (21), nevertheless, a person, until he reaches the age of majority, (age 18), is considered by operation of law, `incompetent' to perform certain acts. Thus a minor cannot vote in Federal and State elections. He cannot act as an executor or administrator. His contracts with adults are voidable by him until he reaches the age of majority, and he is not eligible to serve on a jury."”
