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.

““To constitute a valid transfer of land by verbal gift, there must be a'gift completely executed by delivery of possession and performance of some acts sufficient to take the case out of the statute of frauds. The performance necessary for this purpose must be an acceptance, a taking of possession under and in reliance upon the gift and the doing of such acts in reliance thereon that it would work a substantial injustice to hold the gift void. Lindell v. Lindell, 135 Minn. 368 , 160 N. W. 1031 . See also Drager v. Seegert, 138 Minn. 6 , 163 N. W. 756 ; Snow v. Snow, 98 Minn. 348 , 108 N. W. 295 ; Hayes v. Hayes, 126 Minn. 389 , 148 N.
