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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““This is not a case involving the question as to whether the agent presented a customer ready, willing, and able to buy, as is ordinarily the duty of an agent before he may be entitled to a commission; but it is a case where the agent produces a customer with whom the seller is satisfied and a contract is made. In this last event, the agent is not concerned as to the ability of the purchaser to buy, for the seller relieves him of any further duty in that respect when he accepts the purchaser as satisfactory and a binding contract is made.””
