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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““While it is true that a person cannot claim a reward where the services were performed without the knowledge of the reward being offered or where he had no intention of claiming the reward, 24 Enc. of Law (2d ed.), 958; 34 Cyc. 1752; yet, a performance begun without any knowledge of the reward being offered, or even before the reward is offered, when completed after such knowledge, entitles the party to the reward.””
