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 99 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It was held that an action to enforce the equitable lien for the purchase money of land was barred by the lapse of six years after the debt accrued. The reasoning by which the result was reached in that case is not altogether satisfactory, and yet that decision is not in conflict with the views we now entertain. The judge there writing the opinion said: “ ‘The equitable lien (for the purchase money) is neither created nor evidenced by deed but arises by operation of law, and is of no-higher nature than the debt which it secures.’ ””
