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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““There is no duty on a court to enforce its process sua sponte. When there has been a failure to respond to a subpoena the party desiring the evidence may apply to the court for an attachment of the body of the witness, § 491.150, RSMo 1959, V.A.M.S., or resort to contempt proceedings, but enforcement of the command of a subpoena in cases of noncompliance is ordinarily initiated by the party in interest and not by the court. Appellants made no effort in this direction, and there was no obligation on the court to act on its own motion under the circumstances.””
