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 23 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Whatever may be meant by the word ‘honest’, the ‘faithful performance of all obligations and undertakings’ means no more than performance of those obligations and undertakings according to their terms. Bonds conditioned for the ‘faithful performance’ of a contract have always been construed as being breached by any failure of performance in the principal contract. (Garrett v. Dodson, (Tex. Civ. App.) 199 S. W. 675, 682 ; General Bonding & Casualty Ins. Co. v. Hill, (Tex. Civ. App.) 195 S. W. 873 ; Lamson v. Maryland Casualty Co., 196 Iowa, 1185 [ 194 N. W. 70 ]; Trinity Parish v. Aetna Indemnity Co., 37 Wash. 515 [ 79 Pac. 1097 ]; Long v. American Surety Co., 23 N. D. 492 [ 137 N. W. 41 ]; Hensley v. School District, 97 Kan. 56 [ 154 Pac. 253 ].) In fact, such bonds are frequently referred to as ‘faithful performance bonds’.””
