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

1. ““ * * * Plaintiff seeks only to show that by reason of the oral agreement of defendant to pay him an additional consideration of $100 as alleged that the title to the realty involved did not pass to the defendant, grantee, upon delivery of the deed to him because no delivery was intended if he failed to pay said sum. The deed did not refer to any other consideration than that provided for in the conveyance, and the contract for sale did not refer to any additional consideration other than that provided for in the deed, or conveyance. * * * All sums specified in the instruments are shown by the pleadings to have been paid and the deed delivered to the grantee. Nothing remained but the alleged secret ■separate oral agreement with the grantee which admittedly preceded the execution of the alleged deed and written contract of sale; * * * obviously, such oral agreement was vio-lative of the parol evidence rule, 15 O.S.A. §§ 136 and 137.””
