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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““A man desiring to purchase state tax lands can ascertain the amount of current taxes due before making his application to purchase, and either by producing a statement that shall be satisfactory evidence to the auditor general of the amount of such taxes, or by conveying to the auditor general information that such tax remains unpaid if he cannot procure an official statement that the auditor will recognize, and paying him the amount in addition to the other amounts necessary, as shown by the auditor’s records, can secure his legal rights as a would-be purchaser, without being subjected to any risks whatever.””
