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 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““One reading the plaintiff’s, testimony is impressed with the idea that his main grievance is that he was not given the position of secretary and treasurer at a salary of $100 a month. Assuming that the evidence proved that such promise was. made, it would not justify a rescission of the contract on the theory of misrepresentation. A promise, though made without intention to fulfill, is not a misrepresentation of an existing fact.” [See Younger v. Hoge, 211 Mo. 444, 455, 456 , 111 S. W. 20 .]”
