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 23 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“This contract for interest at the rate of 10 per cent. after maturity of the note indicates that time was not the essence of the contract, and there is nothing in the contract to indicate that either party so regarded it at the time the contract was made. If a party desires to make time the essence of the contract, he should leave no doubt of the intention of the contracting parties so to make it.”
