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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"We believe that the extension for removal of the timber was an integral part of the contract, that it was agreed to by the parties, not only in consideration of the future payment by plaintiff of taxes upon the land, but also in consideration of the cash received by the vendors at the execution of the contract. The stipulation cannot be viewed as a separate and distinct agreement, but is in the nature of an option resting upon an actual consideration of which a part had already been paid."”
