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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““. . . the power of courts to declare a contract void for being in contravention of sound public policy, is a very delicate and undefined power, and, like the power to declare a statute unconstitutional, should be exercised only in cases free from doubt.” Corns v. Clouser et al. (1894), 137 Ind. 201, 204 , 36 N. E. 848 ; Richmond v. Dubuque, etc., R. R. Co. (1868), 26 Iowa 191 .”
