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.

““ * * * But that the real consideration was not pecuniary- — was mere love and affection — was good, not valuable, it is not admissible to prove. The nature of the conveyance would be changed, and the consideration proved, would be different from, and inconsistent with that expressed. — Murphy v. Br. Bnk. Mobile, 16 Ala. 90 ; Potter v. Gracie, 58 Ala. 303 ; Ellinger v. Crowl, 17 Md. 361 ; Cunningham v. Droyer, 23 Md. 219 ; Hildreth v. Sneeds, 2 Johns.Ch. 35; Bump on Fraud.Conv. 579.””
