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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In all ordinary cases of contract for the sale of land, if there is nothing special in its objects, subject matter, or terms, although a certain period of time is stipulated for its completion, or for' the execution of any of its terms, equity treats the provision as formal, rather than essential, and permits a party who has suffered the period to elapse to perform such acts after the prescribed date, and to compel a performance by the other party, notwithstanding his own delay.””
