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.

““Here the abstract shows an outstanding title in fee in Pieper. Its validity depends upon matters of fact concerning notice, possession and periods of limitation. To require a purchaser to accept affidavits upon such matters would impose too great a hazard and would be unjust. Whether Pieper is living or dead does not,appear, and so another element of uncertainty arises, respecting heirship, minority, and the period of limitations. (Beeler v. Sims, 91 Kan. 757, 761 , 139 Pac. 371 .)”
