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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““As a visitor in the home, appellant was a licensee. As to the condition of the premises, no duty was owed to appellant by appellees other than that of not knowingly letting him run upon a hidden peril or willfully or wantonly causing him harm. (Citing cases.) “As a nonpaying guest, appellant occupied the same status as a member of appellees’ household and was expected to take the premises as the appellees used them and was not entitled to expect that they would be prepared for his reception or that precautions would be taken for his safety in any manner in which appellees did not prepare or take precautions for their own safety or that of the members of their family. (Citing cases.) * * *””
