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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Agreements legally entered into have the effect of law on those who have formed them (LSA-C.C. Article 1901) and the courts are bound to give legal effect to such contracts according to the true intent of the parties. LSA-C.C. Articles 1945 and 1963. The intent of the parties is to be determined by the words of the contract and when these are clear and explicit, the terms of the contract must prevail.””
