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.
““Dear Sir: This tract of mine would suit a cooperage company all right, but I could not allow you much commission, but if the Stanley people does not take it I will allow you $980' to make the deal at $5 per acre for the entire tract of 5,480 acres. I have given the Stanley people until the 10th to decide and look over it, so if this proposition suits you let me know and I will notify you as soon as the time is out. I would be more liberal with you, but I bought this timber to cut myself and am hurrying to get done here so I can move on it. If I sell this lot, I know where I can buy another lot, but I would not want to buy this lot unless I sold the one I had first.””
