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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Grimley has made an untrue statement in regard to his qualifications. The government makes no objection because of the untruth. The qualification is one for the benefit of the government, one of the contracting parties. Who can take advantage of Grimley’s lack of qualification? Obviously only the party for whose benefit it was inserted. Such is the ordinary law of contract. Suppose A., an individual, were to offer to enter into contract with persons of Anglo-Saxon descent, and B., representing that he is of such descent, accepts the offer and enters into contract; can he come thereafter, A. making no objection, repudiate the contract on the ground that he is not of Anglo-Saxon descent? A. has prescribed the terms. He contracts with B. upon the strengtn of his representation that he comes within these terms. Can B. thereafter plead his disability in avoidance of the contract? On the other hand, suppose for any reason it could be- contended that the proviso as to age was for the benefit of the party enlisting; is Grimley in any better position? The matter of age is merely incidental, and not.of the substance of the contract; and can a party, by false representations as to such incidental matter, obtain a contract, and thereafter disown and repudiate its obligations on the simple ground tlia't the fact in reference to this incidental matter was contrary to his representations? * * . * He cannot of his own volition throw off the garments he has once put bn, nor can he, the state”
