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 25 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Absent a contrary agreement, acceptance by the transferee of a transfer of property is one according to the terms thereof. The acceptance operates as a representation by the transferee that he accedes to the terms of the transaction as is. A party who is free to accept or reject without serious inconvenience cannot accept and retain the benefits of a transaction and at the same time repudiate it. The transferee in such a case should be held not only to adopt the transaction as a whole, but also to renounce every right inconsistent therewith.”
