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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[a] contract whereby property is transferred from one person to another for ... value, implies] the passing of the general and absolute title, as distinguished from a special interest, falling short of complete ownership.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage““ ‘° * * [A] contract to accelerate the maturity of a debt gives a remedy that is harsh in its nature, and provision therefor, in order to be effective, should be clear and unequivocal; and, if there is a reasonable doubt as to the meaning of the terms employed, preference should be given to that construction which will * * * prevent acceleration of maturity.’ ” (Quoting 10 C.J.S. Bills & Notes §251 (1938).)”
