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.
““No formal tender to the defendants before the action was begun was made. ... If the defendant puts himself in an attitude of default tender to him is unnecessary.
