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.

1. “It might be plausibly urged that the chancellor and this Court ought to take judicial notice of the nature of savings and loan associations and deposits or investments therein. The chancellor doubtless had some personal information on this subject, and the members of this Court are not entirely ignorant of such matters. Personal information is not judicial notice, however; and this is especially true when application of such information would be based upon speculation and conjecture because of failure of the record to satisfactorily identify the object of desired judicial notice.”

2. ““If testator in his will had referred to his funds as ‘my cash,’ or ‘my funds,’ or ‘my deposits,’ or my ‘funds on deposit,’ there would be little difficulty in comprehending all of the above assets in such designation; but such designation was not used.” 456 S.W.2d 345, 352 .”
