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.

“If a matter is not in the nature of a defense but constitutes a counterclaim, the general rule is that the party is not required to assert the claim unless the subject matter is such an integral part of the issue being litigated that a judgment would necessarily negate the existence of facts essential to its maintenance. See Maxcy v. Twilley, 289 Ala. 681 , 271 So.2d 243, 245 (1972); Meyer v. Vance, 406 P.2d 996, 1001 (Okl.1965); Gwynn v. Wilhelm, 226 Ore. 606 , 360 P.2d 312, 314 (1961).”
