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 39 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(1) An express or implied loan; (2) An understanding between the parties that the money lent is to be returned; (3) An agreement to pay a greater rate of interest than the law allows; and (4) A corrupt intent to take more than the allowable legal rate of interest for the use of the money loaned.”
6 later decisions quote this exact passage“[U]sury is largely a matter of intent, and is not fully determined by the fact that the lender actually receives more than law permits, but is determined by existence of a corrupt purpose in the lender's mind to get more than legal interest for the money lent.”
5 later decisions quote this exact passage“[t]he requisite corrupt or purposeful intent ... is satisfactorily proved if the evidence establishes that the charging or receiving of excessive interest was done with the knowledge of the lender.”
