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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is the rule in this state that where a broker is authorized to sell his principal's property that for him to purchase it himself he is bound, due to the relationship of principal and agent, by additional and greater obligations and duties than are required in ordinary business transactions between buyer and seller [cases cited]; and that a broker can neither purchase from, nor sell to, his principal unless the latter expressly assents thereto or, with full knowledge of all the facts and circumstances acquiesces in such a course. [Cases cited.]””
