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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is clear, from the evidence and the findings of the court, that there can be no recovery upon the theory of an express trust. It is also clear that there can be no recovery upon the theory of a resulting trust, for, in order for such a trust to arise upon a purchase, it is indispensable that the payment should have been made by the beneficiary, or that an absolute obligation to pay should have been incurred by him as a part of the original transaction of purchase, at or before the time of the conveyance.””
