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 26 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““At common law no chose in action was negotiable, or even assignable. In equity every chose in action, except a tort, was assignable; but it was assignable subject to all equities that might be set up against it. Under our statutes every chose in action is assignable, except a tort, the same as it was in equity (Civil Code §26 [R. S. 60-102]); and under our statutes (the same as in equity) it is subject, after assignment, to all equities that may be set up^against it, unless it be a negotiable bond, or a negotiable bill of exchange, or a negotiable promissory note.””
