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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The fair conclusion from all the evidence is, that at the time the deed was executed, Deischer [grantee], as well as the complainants, supposed the deed to be so drawn as to effectuate the intention of the parties, and therefore that the mistake was mutual. But' if it should be admitted that he, at the time, was aware of the terms and legal effect of the deed, and that the mistake was wholly on the part of the complainants, his position would in no respect be improved. He must in that case have known that the complainants were executing the deed under a mistake, brought about by his own agency, and his conduct would then be a fraud, which, coupled with the mistake into which he had led the complainants, would entitle them to a reformation of the deed.””
