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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““If the vendee continues in possession under the agreement long after the time specified therein for giving the deed, a court of equity may consider a strict performance^ at the day as waived, and a party who has thus waived a literal performance of the terms of the agreement, will not afterwards be permitted to insist upon a forfeiture without notice to the other party, and giving him a reasonable time to perform on his part.” Citing Edgerton v. Peckham, 11 Paige Ch. (N. Y.) 352; Avery v. Kellogg, 11 Conn. (2d Ed.) 562; Tyree v. Williams, 3 Bibb (Ky.), 365.”
