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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Taking the testimony in its most favorable light, it shows no damages directly resulting from the breach of the contract on the part of the appellant, other than that the respondents were compelled to pay a higher rate of interest on two hundred dollars for the time between the execution of the note to appellant and the time it fell due than they would have been compelled to pay had the appellant advanced to them the full amount of the loan agreed upon. This sum was capable of mathematical demonstration, and the jury should have been confined to it, as the measure of damages,”
