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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““This contention, however, is squarely in conflict with the pleadings, and especially the admission of the defendant’s answer. The answer of the defendant admits refusal to accept more than 9590.9 cubic yards of crushed rock; it admits the use of 20,258 cubic yards in the construction of the highway mentioned in the contract. From what we have stated, the contract and the admissions of the pleadings in this case demonstrate that the plaintiff was entitled to judgment.””
