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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The general rule that a written contract cannot be varied by parol is not denied, but it is not sought here to add to, alter, or contradict the writing in nny particular, but only to show what was the consideration for the loan of the money for forty days without interest, of which loan the writing is evidence. The rule has never been held to exclude proof of the consideration of a written promise to pay money, at least when none is recited.” Citing Robbins v. Love, 10 N. C. 82 , and Nichols v. Bell, 46 N. C. 32 .”
