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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It therefore follows that, where a corporation has complied with all the requirements of the Constitution and statutes relative to filing copies of their charters or articles of incorporation, and have designated an agent for the service of process as required, a failure to do which would render their contracts void, and dose the court to them, but has failed to report and pay its license tax as required by chapter 57, Session Laws 1910 (secs. 7538-7549, Rev. Laws 1910), its contracts while in such default are not void, nor is the right to proceed in court to enforce them to 'be denied.””
