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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Appellants cannot be heard to say that they did not intend to sell the herein disputed undivided % mineral interest in Tract B, for the obvious reason that at the time of the sales they were completely unaware of the undivided % interest therein of their deceased father but believed their grandparents owned the whole of said tract. “In each deed the respective appellants conveyed ‘all of his interest in and to the oil, gas and other minerals’ that may be produced from, besides other properties, Tract B. Albeit', hindsight cannot be now urged to recant or impugn their intentions made evident by the clear and unambiguous declarations in said deeds. “We find no ambiguity in the description of the property conveyed in the mineral deeds which clearly and specifically describe the tract of land herein involved. Furthermore each of these deeds clearly and unequivocally recites that the vendor therein does grant, bargain, sell, convey and deliver all of his right, title and interest in and to the oil, gas and other minerals, in and under that may be produced from the land described in said deed, including and specifically naming Tract B.” (Emphasis by the Court.)”
