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.
“"It has uniformly been held, that distinct and different items of charge, in an open and mutual account, do not constitute separate claims; but that the claim or debt is found in the balance of the account; and that it is the balance only, that constitutes the claim of the party to whom it is due . . . every new item of credit, or part payment, is an acknowledgment of an open, mutual and unliquidated account, and is equivalent to a new promise to account, and pay the balance thereon due."”
