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 40 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"The rule appears to be general that when a lease requires the lessee to construct improvements on the leased premises, the lessee thus becomes the owner or the agent of the owner and there is no reason for the notice of the lien. Taylor v. Ferroman Properties, Inc., 103 Fla. 960 , 139 So. 149 ; Hart v. Reid, 243 Mich. 175 , 219 N.W. 692 , 220 N.W. 717 ; Jordan v. Natrona Lumber Co., 52 Wyo. 393 , 75 P.2d 378 ; Burkitt v. Harper, 79 N.Y. 273 ; Burkett v. Griffith, 90 Cal. 532 , 27 P. 527 , 13 L.R.A. 707 , 25 Am.St.Rep. 151 ; Waring v. Bass, 76 Fla. 583 , 80 So. 514 . * * * * * * "* * * When a lease contract in terms requires valuable improvements, that are the gist of the lease, and the parties to the lease witness them being made, they will not be heard to say that they can contract to prevent laborers and material men from securing a lien on the leasehold which the law in terms gives them. * * *" (Emphasis supplied.)”
1 later decision quote this exact passage““It is not amiss to bear in mind that it is not denied that appellant performed the services in question, that he earned his fee, the amount of which is not challenged * * * and that it is long past due and no part of it has been paid. When a litigant starts a law suit with all these elements in his favor, and the law guarantees him a remedy when he is wronged, it must take something more than shadow box ing in a maze of legal abstractions to defeat his search for it. If that is not true, then one’s pursuit of justice is about as tangible as chasing the mirage or pursuing that certain pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.””
