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

2 later decisions quote this exact passage“a principal cause for making the contract ... may be either as to the motive for making the contract, to the person with whom it is made, or to the subject matter of the contract itself.”
