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.

““A son who has supported his father for a number of years under an agreement that he is to become at once the owner of a tract of land, and that the legal title is to be vested in him at his father’s death, by will or otherwise, and who in reliance thereon has improved the property and performed service the value of which cannot readily be estimated, is entitled to an injunction against the execution by his father of a deed to some one else.” (Syl. If 1.)”
