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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"When a person, for the purpose of cheating and defrauding another, makes false representations as to material facts, and the person to whom the false representations are so made believes them to be true and is thereby induced to enter into a contract, to his injury, with the person making such false representations, the person who made such false representations cannot defeat a suit to rescind the contract, so entered into, by showing that the person thus defrauded could have ascertained that such representations were false, by the exercise of diligence."”
