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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Had Margolis (the tenant) accepted this proposition expressly, or continued in occupancy without further communication with his landlord, and paid the rent specified, his conduct would have constituted an acceptance, and in either case his continued occupancy would have been upon the terms of his landlord's proposal. " (Citing Tiffany.) After a new proposal by the landlord (p. 157), "the occupancy and payment of rent by Margolis thereafter without dissent, constituted an acceptance upon his part of the terms of occupancy submitted to him by his landlord.”
