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.
“‘‘The attempted sale under the barred debt and security conferred no title upon the purchaser, nor could the sale ordered by the court to enforce the lien be valid because the lien was extinguished and could not be revived. Taking possession of the land . . . under these circumstances was wrongful, and the appellee did not acquire the rights of a mortgagee in possession. The mortgage was extinguished before the possession was taken.””
