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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““But in any-event the rule has been established in this jurisdiction that where there is a disagreement as to the amount of an indebtedness, the payment by the debtor of a less amount than that claimed affords a sufficient consideration for a release of the entire demand, although he admits his absolute and immediate liability for the amount he pays. (Neely v. Thompson, 68 Kan. 193 , 75 Pac. 117 .) And this view is in accordance with the later tendency of the courts, although there is still a division of judicial opinion on the subject. (1 R. C. L. 196.)””
