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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In the case at bar, however, the copy that was filed in the trial court is an original. Reeves & Co. v. Martin, 20 Okla. 558 [ 94 Pac. 1058 ]. But that original copy attached to the petition in error was not filed with the papers in the court below, nor was the duplicate original that was filed with the clerk of the trial court.””
