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 24 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ But the defense is set up and urged by a person who has purchased the land subject to this very mortgage. If any change was made it was probably before he purchased, and when he did so, as a part of the purchase money he in effect assumed the payment of the mortgage, and if required to pay the amount of the mortgage debt, he will only be required to pay what he agreed to when.he purchased. It will not wrong him to the extent of a single penny. It will not be inequitable or unjust. Even if the mortgage were rendered void, he, in equity, is still liable to pay the debt. He agreed to do so, and if the mortgage were rendered void, that did not cancel the debt, nor did it release him from his legal liability to pa_y it. This court has repeatedly held that a person purchasing lands, and agreeing to pay off incumbrances on the land as a part of the consideration for the purchase, becomes liable to pay the holder of the lien.””
