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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ ‘To hold that the six months’ notice given under a tax deed void on its face is valid, would be to do away with all distinction between a deed void on its face, and one prima facie valid. A tax deed void on its face is as invalid as no deed, and we might as well hold that the service of the notice dispenses with the deed altogether. This court has already held that a tax notice served under a premature deed, like those involved in this case, was unavailing, and would not set the statute running, and we must adhere to that holding. There is nothing sacred in the service of a notice. To be of any avail, there must be back of it a deed fair upon its-face.’ ””
