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 79 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In the absence of a confidential relation, the defendants were under no obligation to volunteer information to the plaintiff which was as readily accessible to him as it was to the defendants; and as ‘the law will not undertake the care of persons who will not, with the means at hand, take care of themselves,’ the mere silence of the defendants cannot be construed to be a fraudulent concealment sufficient to support an action for fraud.” (p. 439.)”
