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 28 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

Clark, supra, ( 27 Mo. 34 ), and the many cases that have followed it, that it has also been held that the record proper consists of the petition, summons and all subsequent pleadings, together with the verdict and judgment, and if material error in such record appears, the judgment will be reversed whether any exceptions were saved or not. ’ ’”
