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.
“. “If, in a contract for the purchase of land, a party fails to avail himself of those sources of information readily within his reach, and chooses to rely upon representations which, though not true, were not made with any false and fraudulent intent, the maxim of ‘caveat emptor’ applies, as it does to personal property, and courts will not aid the purchaser. Walsh v. Hall, 66 N. C. 233 .””
