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 32 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The contract which was executed by the bank differed in terms with the offer of Reed, and did not amount to an acceptance of Reed’s offer, but amounted in law to a counter proposal by the bank to be accepted or rejected by Reed. This is so regardless of the fact that the consideration for the land was the same in both the proposal of Reed and of the bank.... ... The counter proposal of the bank required Reed to deposit earnest money with the broker in an amount to be determined by Reed. The letter of transmittal seems to have required at least 10 percent of the purchase price. 1 The mere signing of the contract without a deposit of the earnest money was not an acceptance of the written proposal of the bank.”
