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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““We need not, and do not determine in this ease, what would be our ruling, if the motion had been made to revive against the heirs and personal representative, within 18 months after the death of Donaldson, and for some cause that motion was not acted upon within the 18 months. That case is not presented by this record, for no motion has ever been made to revive against the heirs. See Evans v. Welch, 63 Ala. 250 ; Brown v. Tutwiler, 61 Ala. 372 .””
