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 24 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““If the buyer in a case of this sort fails to pay or offer to pay within the time specilied for mutual performance, the Seller is discharged from liability to answer in damages for not delivering the thing sold; but it does not follow that the seller in such case is entitled from tlie mere default of the buyer to recover the purchase money. To entitle the seller to recover the price, he must show not only that the purchaser failed to pay, but that he himself was ready and offered to deliver the goods.””
