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.
““It must be borne in mind that ‘the court having jurisdiction of the settlement of the estate’ of Sam Lucas was always in session. We have no desire to conflict with, much less to overrule, those cases which draw a correct distinction between a court and the judge thereof, and limit the power of courts to act in vacation; but the law says there shall be no' vacation in the county court in probate matters, consequently, the 'court having jurisdiction of the settlement of the estate’ of Sam Lucas is always in session.””
