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.
“"What a representation must be, to entitle a party to maintain a suit because of its utterance and its falsity, has been settled by a long series of adjudications. It must undoubtedly be of some material fact, and must be a determining’ factor in the transaction. The party to whom it is made must rely on the representation to his injury, must be without knowledge of its truth or falsity, and it must appear to the court to be reasonably certain that the complaining person would not have acted as he did, but for the making of the statement of which he complains. This rule has been laid down by all the text wrriters. ’ ’”
