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 41 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“If it was the intention to extend credit even for a day or to sell the property on credit, there would be no question. A preference would have been established because a debt would have been created. If the acts of either party or the words which they spoke or wrote or the surrounding circumstances show an extension of credit, it would make no difference that both parties may have had an abiding unexpressed intention not to create a debt. This is the usual rule that the evinced intention prevails over mental attitudes.”
