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 35 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"... [I]f the circumstances were such as to have put a person on inquiry, and the means of ascertaining the truth were readily available had inquiry been made, the neglect or failure to make such inquiry will charge the person with laches the same as though he had known the facts.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“No doctrine is so wholesome, when wisely administered, as that of laches. It prevents the resurrection of stale titles, and forbids the spying out from the records of ancient and abandoned rights. It requires of every owner that he take care of his property, and of every claimant that he make known his claims. It gives to the actual and longer possessor security, and induces and justifies him in all efforts to improve and make valuable the property he holds. It is a doctrine received with favor, because its proper application works out justice and equity, and often bars the holder of a mere technical right, which he has abandoned for years, from enforcing it when its enforcement will work large injury to many.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage““The rule is well settled in modern law that the title to land or real estate may pass by equitable estoppel, which is effectual to take the title of land from one person and vest it in another where justice requires that such action be done.” 19 Am. Jur., Estoppel, § 87, p. 743.”
