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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"Where representation is made in positive terms as to a fact actually or presumptively within the speaker's knowledge, and contains nothing so improbable as to cause doubt of its truth, the hearer may rely upon it without investigation, and this is true, although the means of investigation were within the reach of the injured party, and the parties occupied adversary positions toward each other. Since the very purpose of fraud is to cheat the victim by making him neglect the precautions essential to prevent injury, to deny relief because the victim was negligent would encourage dishonesty. In such cases the fraud-feasor will not be heard to say that he is a person unworthy of belief, and that plaintiff was negligent in trusting him, and was cheated through his own credulity."”
