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.

““It is well settled that where the seller has delivered possession to the buyer, though the sale was induced by the buyer’s fraud, and for such reason the seller would as against the buyer be entitled to rescind and recover the property, still if the property has passed into the hands of a bona fide purchaser for value the right of the original seller to recover the property is lost.””
