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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“An ordinary procedural statute of limitations must ... be pleaded by the defendant’s answer or it shall be deemed waived. [But a] limitation period ... [that] is stipulated in the very statute giving rise to the cause of action may limit the right to maintain the action as well as the remedy. If the period of limitation is part of the substantive right, the burden is on the plaintiff to prove that the action was initiated within the prescribed time period.”
