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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“While the law recognizes his power to revoke the broker’s authority [despite a fixed term contract], it does not recognize his right to do so, for it results in a repudiation of his contractual obligations.... Where by revoking the broker's authority, the latter is entitled to recover as damages, not only the value of such services as he has already rendered together with such disbursements as he has made in his employer's behalf, but also such prospective profits as he can reasonably establish would have been his but for the wrongful revocation of his authority.”
