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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““* * * Although appellants plead facts, which if true, amount to undue influence or ‘unconscionable advantage’, they assiduously avoid any mention of the word fraud, and in their briefs deny any intention to rely upon it. This is not an action upon an oral contract under Section 95 (2), Title 12 O.S.A., or for damages for its breach. It is an equitable action for cancellation of the deed and possession of the property, based upon failure of consideration. * * *. It is thus clear that since neither the two, three nor fifteen year statute of limitations applies, the action is one for relief ‘not hereinbefore provided for’ and the five year statute is analogous.””
