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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The parol agreement out of which the notes sued on sprang was made in this state [Georgia]. Part of that agreement was performed in this state. The usury set fortn in defendant’s pleas was paid in this state; and all that was left to be performed of that agreement -was the payment of the notes sued on in this state. The maker of these notes resides in this state, and the land which was conveyed as security is located in this state. Whether a contract is made with reference to the place, or state, or country in which it is to be performed is a question of no easy solution. However this may be, there is enough in this case to show that, in all likelihood, the parties to the contract sued on contemplated the law of the domicile of the maker as the law which should govern this contract in all respects.””
