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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

Where it appears that only a part of the contract is in writing, the part not in writing may be proved by parol, in so far as it is not inconsistent with the written portion. 17 Cyc. 746-7; Wigmore, Evidence, § 2430. It was proper,' therefore, for the court to receive oral evidence as to the time when the materials were agreed to be delivered.””
