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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““If it should appear on a retrial that no tender of the purchase price was made or that the appellants acquiesced in or assented to the delay, of course they cannot recover, but if a proper tender and demand was made and respondent Colvin refused to perform and was unable to give title, the appellants will be entitled to recover what they paid on the contract, with interest.” (Italics ours.)”
