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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““To' permit an agent or confidential representative to secretly profit by his manipulation of the subject-matter of his agency is to offer a premium to fraud and breach of faith. The law therefore holds him bound to account to his principal for all such profits, even though they were received by transactions in excess of the authority given him; and this law is none the less imperative because he accounts for the full price for which he was authorized to sell.””
