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 48 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

7 later decisions quote this exact passage“Contracts are to be construed so as to give effect to the intent of the parties, and that intent is presumed as a matter of law to be fully revealed in the language the parties choose to incorporate into the agreement. * * * If the terms of a contract are clear and unambiguous, then its interpretation is a matter of law, and there is no issue of fact to be determined. * * * However, if a term cannot be determined from the four corners of the document, factual determination of intent may be necessary to supply the missing term.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“The existence of a duty in a negligence action is a question of law for the court, and there is no express formula for determining whether or not a duty exists.”
