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 31 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“It may therefore be said that the provision for accelerating the maturity of the note without demand or notice, was agreed upon in contemplation of the fact that the debtor could not, under the terms of the contract, be in default without knowing it, and without having ample time to repair the default before any right to accelerate the maturity of the note could arise.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“On the face of the contract there is no reason for requiring such a demand, because the contract puts the burden of making payment on the defendants, and if the plaintiff had stood on his contract the defendant could not have been in default [for thirty days without knowing it].”
