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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Some claim is made that McMurray was guilty of laches; and, also, that, by permitting the taxes and interest to become delinquent, his rights were forfeited by notice to that effect given after the suit was instituted. Neither of these claims are well founded. After McMurray had caused the land to be surveyed and had thereby discovered the fraud that had been practiced upon him, he entered upon negotiations with the appellant James Cunningham for an adjustment of the matter. These negotiations continued over a considerable period of time. We think the court did not err in resolving these questions against the appellants.””
