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.

““Neither actual occupancy, cultivation nor residence is necessary to constitute actual possession of land. Where property is so situated as not to admit of permanent useful improvements; the continued claim of the party, evidenced by public acts of ownership such as he would exercise over property which he claimed in his own right and would not exercise over property which he did not claim, may constitute actual possession.” Burns v. Curran (1918), 282 Ill. 476, 480 , 118 N.E.2d 750 , 752. See also Gochenour v. Logsdon (1940), 375 Ill. 139 , 30 N.E.2d 666 .”
