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 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“‘ ‘ The failure to deliver within the time breached the contract, and if, as contended by appellant, his performance was impossible because of subsequent happenings, he was nevertheless liable to respondent for his breach. Having assumed under his contract to deliver within a stipulated time, he was bound to make such delivery. He could have protected himself in the contract had he desired to do so, hut having failed to do so, he must be held answerable for the damages caused respondent because of the broken contract to deliver.””
