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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In a number of cases in Virginia and elsewhere the courts have decided, evidently upon this view of the effect of the judgment upon the original contract, that where a debt is contracted for [at] a less or greater rate of interest than tlie laws of the lex fori permit at the time of its enforcement, if authorized by the laws when or where it was made, the courts of the lex fori will not hesitate to give judgment upon such debt, to bear interest at the rate specified in the contract, not only to the date of the judgment, but afterwards until the debt "is paid.””
