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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The law is that ... it is necessary for the party intending to sue for enforcement of the contract ..-. [to] ... make a tender of performance ... “The fact that the other party, by whom money was to be paid, is insolvent ... will not on this ground excuse a tender to him ...” Cornett v. Best, 151 Mo.App. 546 , 132 S.W. 35, 36 (1910).”
