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.
““A mortgage is no longer in this State what it was originally at common law, a grant of the land to the mortgagee, defeasible upon condition subsequent, and to become absolute on failure to pay at the specified day. It is but a security for the debt. The estate in the land is still in the mortgagor; and payment at any time before foreclosure or sale, or in case of foreclosure by advertisement at any time before the expiration of the time of redemption— including, of course, any legal costs which, may have been mad,e — will discharge the mortgage in the same manner as if made on the day of payment mentioned in the mortgage.””
