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 35 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It must be kept in view that the mere failure to pay the interest within 30 days would not of itself immediately mature the whole debt, but acceleration of maturity depended entirely upon the option and desire of the owner and holder of the notes. The debtor knew that there was default in payment of interest, but had no notice that the creditor would exercise his power of acceleration of the whole debt. The clause as to the maturity of the whole debt was not positive and self-executing, but depended for its vitality upon the will and desire of the owner and holder of the notes, and equity would demand notice of. such will and desire before demand should be made for the payment of the entire debt. * * A court of equity will scan very closely the enforcement of so hard and rigorous a contract as appears in this case.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“A court of equity may relieve against a provision for acceleration where the default of the debtor is the result of accident or mistake, "when it is procured by the fraud or other inequitable conduct of the creditor himself."”
