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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Whatever rights of action the plaintiffs may have had upon the contract, upon delivery of 75,000 plants, they had no right to the note, and could maintain no action upon it until after a full compliance with the conditions of the escrow. Until such time it is as though no note had ever been signed.” (p. 219. See, also, 21 C. J. 865, 882, 883; 10 R. C. L. 627.)”
