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.
““It is further agreed that time is of the essence of this contract, and, in the event of a failure to comply with the terms hereof by said party of the second part, the said party of the first part shall he released from all obligations in law or equity to convey said property, and said party of the second part shall forfeit all right thereto; and to moneys theretofore paid under this contract, and all his interest in or to said moneys or said property shall thereupon immediately cease as fully as if said moneys had never heen paid on this agreement entered into.””
