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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““When the possession is by actual occupation of the possessor, or by his tenants, under claim of title, his possession is visible, open, notorious, distinct, and will be presumed to be hostile. In such case the conditions are all sufficiently complied with to make the possession adverse, and sufficiently notified to other claimants, or parties interested.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““Statutes limiting the right to bring actions for the recovery of land are for the purpose of preventing litigation, quieting title, and securing peace among citizens. They are statutes of repose, and have come to be regarded by courts and jurors with favor, rather than, as formerly, with disfavor.””
