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.
““‘It is argued that the undisputed evidence shows conclusively that the release was valid in every way, and that no fraud was committed in its procurement. On this proposition the evidence was conflicting. It is not for us to judge its weight nor to pass upon the credibility of witnesses.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage““The jury passed upon the conflicting evidence, and, having by its verdict found in favor of plaintiff, that finding must be left undisturbed. When in a law case the evidence is conflicting and the court has denied a motion for new trial, the judgment must stand.””
