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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In the argument and briefs in this case our attention is sharply and repeatedly called to the fact that the damages sought consist entirely of losses of anticipated profits. The mere fact, however, that the damages claimed as a result of the breach of a contract consist of anticipated profits neither establishes the right nor bars the claim to their recovery. Some profits may be and others may not be allowed. The rules which govern their recovery do not differ materially from those which measure the recovery of expenses incurred or other losses sustained through the breach of an agreement.””
