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 93 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Dr. Goesl having elected to retire and having demanded and accepted the benefits accruing to him as provided for in the agreement cannot accept that part of the contract beneficial to him and deny the application of other provisions of the contract which may be detrimental. Doty v. Barnard, 92 Tex. 104 , 47 S.W. 712 . To paraphrase what we said in Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority v. City of San Antonio, 145 Tex. 611 , 200 S.W.2d 989, 997 , Dr. Goesl seeks to retain the beneficial part of the transaction and to repudiate the disadvantageous part because of the alleged fraud of the other party. This he may not do.””
