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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The next assignment of error is as to the allowance of 10 per centum interest on the Long debt. The contract is for 10 per centum per annum, which was a legal rate of interest in this state at that time, if expressly contracted for. But it is argued that- in this case the court should reduce the rate of interest to 6 per centum from the time when the lands of the defendant were taken out of his control and put in the hands of a receiver of the court, thus depriving him of the means of paying the debt. * * * But he is bound by his contract as he made it, the same not appearing to be unlawful, nor otherwise invalid. The courts cannot make another contract for the parties.””
