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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is, in substance, field that payment subsequently made, altfiougfi conforming to the oral agreement, is insufficient of itself to make the prior oral agreement valid. There must be enough, in addition to the act of payment, to show that the terms of the prior oral contract were then in the minds of the parties, and were reaffirmed by them; and, this being shown, a cause of action arises, not on the prior oral contract, but on the new contract made at the time of the payment.””
