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.
“(1) The moral duty must be felt towards a particular person, not all persons in general. (2) The person involved feels so strongly about the moral duty that he truly feels he owes a debt. (3) The duty can be fulfilled through rendering a performance whose object is of pecuniary value. (4) A recognition of the obligation by the obligor must occur, either by performing the obligation or by promising to perform. This recognition brings the natural obligation into existence and makes it a civil obligation.”
