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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The title to: the land was not in the estate, and the surviving constituents of the family would have no more right to a homestead or to a year’s allowance preferred to the vendor’s rights than they could have to other lands belonging to strangers.... In the very náture of the vendor’s rights in the land and his lien, which, under circumstances of failure of the vendee to pay, will entitle the former to a recovery of the land itself or a rescission of the sale, there can be no right in the vendee, or his heirs after his death, that can defeat it.”
