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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““If the purchaser of goods, under an agree'ment otherwise void by the statute of frauds, accepts a delivery of the goods or some part of them, either when the agreement is made or afterwards, such agreement thereby becomes a valid and binding contract. This proposition is too well settled to require the citation of authorities to sustain it.””
