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.
““[B]y acceptance of the notes, from the pleadings, [Frank] looked to those notes for payment. The suit [was] obviously not on the original contract because there [was] nothing provided therein for dates and manner of payment. The certain obligation on the part of the defendant to pay [was] the notes. From the pleadings the notes could not be considered the ‘schedule’ mentioned in the agreement of sale. The notes [were] separate obligations____ [T]here [was] no internal reference in the notes to the agreement of sale, nor [was] there any internal reference in the agreement of sale to the notes.””
