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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Applications for the rescission of contracts, either for fraud or because of the failure of the opposite party to perform, are ordinarily addressed to the sound discretion of the court. A contract will not be rescinded unless both parties can be restored to their original condition; but when that can be done, and the party seeking to rescind is not in default, and has offered to restore the defaulting party to the same condition he occupied before making the contract, a decree of rescission may be rendered.””
