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 84 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““A tender imports not only readiness and ability to perform, but actual production of the thing to be delivered. The formal requisite of a tender may be waived, but to establish a waiver there must be an existing capacity to perform.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““The formal requisite of a tender may be waived, but, to establish a waiver, there must be an existing capacity to perform. Here there was no existing capacity, as, having sold all the adjacent lands, plaintiffs could not perform their covenant to keep open a right of way back of defendant’s store.””
