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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is perfectly competent for the parties to stipulate that the title of the vendor shall be such as will be pronounced good and merchantable by an attorney, title or trust company, or other third person, and the purchaser will not be required to take a title not so pronounced good so long as there is good faith, although the court may deem it good under the law. Under such a contract the approval or disapproval of such third person is conclusive, if made in good faith, and with no improper motive, although in the opinion of the court the title may be good as a matter of law.””
