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.
““ ‘As a general rule, in suits on ordinary contracts of indemnity, the measure of damages is the loss actually sustained or the amount actually paid. * * * ’ 31 C.J. Sec. 28, p. 434. “This being true and the rule of construction of indemnity contracts being that they must be strictly construed in favor of the indemnitor, we are of the opinion that the amounts received by ap-pellee as dividends should have been taken into consideration in determining whether or not he had sustained a loss and, if so, the amount thereof.””
