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 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““But this court, by a succession of decisions, has settled the question of the apportionability of contracts, and we are inclined to follow those decisions in this case. [Citing the above, and other cases.] In the last case, the court says: ‘The doctrine of the earlier decisions, to the effect that where the contract, in cases like the present,' is entire, the performance'by the employé is a condition precedent, and he has no remedy until he has fully performed his part, is not now the recognized doctrine of the courts.’ ””
