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 44 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is true that while article 1194 of the Revised Statutes of 1895 prescribes that suits concerning lands shall be brought in the counties where the lands are situated, still district courts have the power to try such suits regardless of the county in which the land is located, and the statute referred to merely secured to a defendant a personal privilege to be sued in a particular county. It is also true that the general rule is that the privilege referred to is waived when a defendant files a plea to the merits before asserting his privilege to be sued in another county..””
