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.

1. ““Where a boundary between two tracts is unascertained or in dispute, the line may be established, first by parol agreement and possession; second, by an agreement implied from unequivocal acts and declarations of the parties and acquiescence for a considerable period of time; and third, in the absence of any agreement, by undisturbed possession for more than 20 years. When an unascertained or disputed boundary is actually established under either or all of these alternative methods, it will be binding on the parties and their privies in estate and may be enforced or protected in an appropriate action in equity.” (Boyer v. Noirot (1981), 97 Ill. App. 3d 636, 639 , 423 N.E.2d 274, 276-77 , citing McLeod v. Lambdin (1961), 22 Ill. 2d 232, 235 , 174 N.E.2d 869, 871 .)”
