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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“There is implied in an agreement for the sale of real estate, unless a contrary intention is expressed, that the vendor shall retain title until the balance of the purchase price is paid. Where there is an agreement on the part of one to convey and on the part of another to pay a definite sum, payment and conveyance are concurrent acts, unless a contrary intention appears.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“"It is elementary that in equity that is certain which can be made certain. In case * * * certain lands are mentioned by name merely in a contract, without giving a definite description, the * * * lands intended in the contract may always be shown by extrinsic, parol, or documentary evidence."”
