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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““* * * While the one who by misrepresentation has induced a party to enter into a disadvantageous deal may not escape when called to account by claiming that the injured party was negligent and should not have trusted the former, still it is for the injured party to prove that he made the deal in reliance upon the truthfulness of the representations. If his intelligence and experience in like transactions were such that the jury could conclude that he knew the representations made were not true, he did not rely thereon.” (Italics supplied.)”

2. “But where, as here, a party to whom a representation has been made has not made an investigation adequate to disclose the falsity of the representation, the party whose misstatements have induced the act cannot escape liability by claiming that the other party ought not to have trusted him.”
