Most-quoted passages

“See also State v. Weatherby, 344 Mo. 848 , 129 S.W.2d 887 , l.c. 892, where it is said: `What we have said disposes of defendant's point that he need not take notice of any limitation on the powers of the state auditor in auditing the account. He had actual knowledge of the facts involved and he received payment under statutory provisions which every person was bound to know and construe at his peril.'”
