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.

““The contract involved in this litigation was entitled as recited above as a ‘lease.’ But it was not a lease in which real property was included. What it really was, was a bailment for hire for the mutual advantage of the parties, i.e., a hiring of personal property for a stated period of time and for a monthly sum of money for its use. A hiring of personalty for a fixed term is nevertheless a bailment although the hirer has an option to purchase the property before the expiration of the term. [Citations.] * * * ””
