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.

““We do not doubt that the word ‘per-petuities’ in said section (of Okla.Const.) was not intended to mean or be equivalent to perpetual franchises, but was intended to limit the power to pass titles that would vest in future. It was so applied by the Supreme Court of Oklahoma in McLaughlin v. Yingling, 90 Okl. 159 , 213 P. 552 , and In re Street’s Estate, 138 Okl. 115 , 280 P. 413 .’’”
