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.
““The general rule is that courts will not declare an agreement to be void simply because it is unwise. 17 Am.Jr.2d Contracts § 192 (1964). If, however, the bargain ‘is a bargain “such as no man in his senses, and not under a delusion, would make on the one hand, and as no honest and fair man would accept on the other,” ’ a court will find the agreement to be unconscionable and refuse to enforce the same. Wenninger v. Mitchell, 139 Mo.App. 420 , 122 S.W. 1130, 1132 (1909). See also, Ball v. Reyburn, 136 Mo.App. 546 , 118 S.W. 524 (1909); 14 Williston on Contracts § 1632 (ed. 1972) [tests of un-conscionability include the above cited rule and that ‘. . . no decent, fairminded person would view the ensuing result without being possessed of a profound sense of injustice. . .’] Cf., Drake v. Greener, 523 S.W.2d 601 (Mo.App.1975) [‘... where a person has been induced to part with a thing of value for little or no consideration, equity will seize upon the slightest circumstances of fraud, duress, or mistake for the purpose of administering justice in the particular case.’].””
