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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““But here we have a contract, full and explicit in all its terms; the parties thereto willed to reduce such contract to writing; that which they willed to do was not accomplished, owing to the ignorance of all parties, including the party who drafted the contract, as to what was necessary to be included in the writing. What reason can possibly be advanced why equity should not carry out the will of these parties, even though in order to do so it must reform the writing? If the writing is not sufficient to carry out the intent of the parties, ■then it is as much a contract entered into without the consent of the parties thereto as though the mistake had been one of fact.””
