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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Suits of this character when the purchase money has been paid are regarded as being founded upon an implied contract to refund- money fraudulently or mistakenly collected. That doctrine rests upon the idea that the purchaser has paid for land he didn’t get and there is no injury or loss until the money is paid. Hence, the cause of action arises upon the final payment and limitations begin to run then. ’ ’”
