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.
““Before appellee could assert any right to receive payment of the sum stipulated in the contract, even, though it were in writing, it would have been incumbent on him to find purchasers and close sales for real estate of appellant amounting in the aggregate to the sum stipulated . . . The payment of his compensation or reward depended upon the attainment of the result stated, and it could not be earned in any other way . . .” Annotation XVI, 44 L. R. A. 629.”
