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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““By the weight of authority a stipulation for a higher rate of interest after maturity is valid and enforceable, provided the increased rate which it is sought to recover does not exceed the highest rate allowed by law, and in the absence of a statute limiting the rate which may be contracted for, or where the rate provided for after maturity is- not unlawful, a stipulation for a higher rate after maturity will generally be considered as liquidated damages rather than as a penalty for a breach.””
