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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ ‘If a writing not in existence when a memorandum is signed may be considered by way of amplification of such memorandum, and the terms of the later writing be made binding upon the party to be charged by the memorandum though he had no part in the preparation of the later writing, there would be presented a situation wherein certainty of contract would be thrown to the winds, and opportunities for fraud and imposition would be open and notorious.’ ” 4 Williston, Contracts § 581 at 139 (3d ed. 1961).”
