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 19 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Wherever time is made essential, either by the nature of the subject-matter and object of the agreement, or by express stipulation, or by a subsequent notice given by one of the parties to the other, the party in whose favor this quality exists — that is, the party who is entitled to insist upon a punctual performance by the other, or else that the agreement be ended — -may waive his right and the benefit of any objection which he might raise to a performance after the prescribed time, either expressly or by his conduct, and his conduct will operate as a waiver when it is consistent only with a purpose on his part to regard the contract as still subsisting’ and not ended by the other party's default.””
