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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““We have held that it creates a primary and not a secondary liability, and that the defaulting officers of the corporation become, by reason thereof, absolutely liable for the debts of the corporation incurred during the period of the default. This being true, they have no right to postpone the enforcement of the statute against them, and no equities can arise in their .favor as against creditors of the corporation. Nebraska National Bank v. Walsh, 68 Ark. 433 ; Ark. Stables v. Samstag, 78 Ark. 517 .””
