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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““If the statute were construed to grant that authority to the court, the finality of the decree, the fundamental basis as well as the capstone of the Torrens system of perfecting land titles would disappear, for just what a court may do to the Torrens judgment on application addressed to its equitable powers will find a limit only in the ingenuity of counsel in searching for and devising methods of attack. “Section 6895 [now 508.28, M.S.A. . — supplied] of the act is one of limitations, and cannot be construed as in effect granting the relief which under section 6889 [now 508.22 M. S.A. — supplied] in express language withholds.””
