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 seems clear from the evidence that the agreement to re-convey the land to Rohling was a part of the contract of sale to Thole and a part of the consideration for the conveyance, and that it was not merely a voluntary option that might be rescinded by Thole at his will. The second agreement was not a new agreement to re-convey the land to appellee, but was merely a re-statement, in writing, of the original agreement, for the purpose of having the wife of Thole sign it. It was not based upon a supposed consideration of one dollar recited therein, but upon the consideration for which the agreement of November 16, 1909, was entered into between the parties. It was a valid, binding agreement requiring Thole to re-convey the land to appellee upon his compliance with the terms and conditions stated in the instrument.”
