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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"A purchaser who is unable to obtain a loan stipulated in a purchase agreement, through no fault of his own, is normally relieved of his obligation to purchase and entitled to a return of his deposit. The purchaser has an implied obligation to make a good-faith effort to obtain the financing, however, and if he fails to do so, the suspensive condition to the act of sale is considered as fulfilled, and he is estopped from asserting the nullity of the contract based upon his inability to obtain financing. LSA-C.C. Art. 1772 (formerly LSA-C.C. Art. 2040 [1870])." (Citations omitted.)”
