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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The plaintiff must always sue for the debt whether he asks to have the mortgaged property applied in payment thereof or not (Code § 399; chapter 87, Laws 1870, p. 175, § 13;) and his judgment is always a personal judgment for the debt whether he obtains an order to have the property sold to satisfy the debt or not.” (p. 568.)”
