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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““A contract, therefore, by one of impaired mental and will power with one standing in confidential relations with him should be closely scrutinized to See that no improper advantage has been taken or undue influence exerted. The exertion of undue influence in such ease may be pronounced from the nature of the contract, and from an unfair and unreasonable advantage secured by it.” [Jones v. Belshe, supra, 1. c. 540.]”
