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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"Where property is conveyed to [a] person on his oral promise to hold it and later reconvey it . . . and at [the] time of conveyance he stands in a confidential relationship to [the grantor] . . a court of equity will not allow him to keep [the] property and be unjustly enriched, but will compel him to transfer title to [the] parties equitably entitled to it even though he may have intended at [the] time of conveyance to carry out [the] agreement, and even though he was not guilty of fraud, undue influence, or any other abuse of confidential relationship in procuring [the] conveyance." (Emphasis Added) 89 C.J.S. Trusts § 149, n. 24;”
