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 19 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The doctrine is that, when a contract is ex-ecutory on both sides, and there has been no part performance, if the vendee seeks specific performance, he must show a memorandum of the sale, signed by the vendor; and, if the vendor seeks to enforce the payment of the purchase money, he must prove a promise in writing signed by the vendee. * * * The part performance, to take a case out of the operation of the Statute must be by the party who seeks to enforce the contract.””
