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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Counsel for plaintiffs say: ‘The appellants’ lease is what is termed among the oil and gas fraternity an “unless lease,” in contradistinction to what is termed an “or lease.” ’ A nice distinction is sought to be made between the case at bar and that of Rhodes v. Oil Co., 80 Kan. 762 , 104 Pac. 851 , which was an ‘or lease’ contract. The cases decided by this court have not attached any importance to such subtleties of language, but have been determined upon their individual and substantial merits; and the later drift of the decisions show a decided tendency to frown on forfeitures where the rights of [lie parties insisting thereon can otherwise be adequately protected.””
