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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  1. ““This Court, in the case of Pencil Co. v. Wolfe, 30 Fla. 360 , text, 371, 11 So. 488 , 491, said, ‘Even the promise to pay the debt of a third person, arising out of some new consideration, of benefit to the promissor (emphasis supplied) or harm to the promisee, moving to the promisor, either from the promisee or the original debtor, is not within the statute of frauds, although the original debt still subsists and remains unaffected by said agreement’; and this we think is the true rule.””
