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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““We cannot adopt the view of plaintiff in error that those clauses of the petition which state or tend to state a cause of action for deceit at common law should be segregated from the other clauses of the petition and held to- constitute the statement of the cause of action. The court cannot reject the allegations of the petition, which do state a cause of action under the banking act, for the purpose of converting mere matter of inducement or surplus-age, contained elsewhere in the petition, into a substantive statement of a cause of action different from that which the petition in terms declares to be the foundation of the action. * * * If, in drafting the petition, the pleader supposed he was stating more than one cause of action, he would undoubtedly have separately stated and numbered them. * * * No one can point out in this petition where the statement of one cause of action ends and another begins.””
