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.

““Cancelling an executed contract is an exertion of the most extraordinary power of a court of equity. The power ought not to be exercised except in a clear case, and never for an alleged fraud unless the fraud be made clearly to appear; never for alleged false representations unless their falsity is certainly proved, and unless the complainant has been deceived and injured by them.” Stafford v. McDougal, 171 Okla. 106 , 42 P. 2d 520 ; followed in Burke v. King, 176 Okla. 625 , 56 P. 2d 1185 .”
