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.
“* * * where a suit is for reformation there must be a finding upon evidence that is `clear, exact, and satisfactory' that the mistake of fact was mutual; also, as stated in the same case, that the party seeking reformation must prove by such evidence not only `what the true agreement was,' but `must go further and establish the fact that the terms or provisions of the writing which differ from the true agreement made were placed in the instrument by mutual mistake.'”
