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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"It is true that the agent did not bodily eject * * * [the tenant] from the premises, nor did he, immediately on the expiration of the lease, institute an action against him; but there was at no time the slightest indication that he consented to a continuance of the tenancy. It would be a strange condition of affairs if a landlord, in order to avoid implied consent to a continued tenancy under an expired lease, would be compelled to refuse to listen to a proposition of further lease, and set about immediately to eject the tenant."”
