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 48 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““. . . [W]hen a contract for the sale and purchase of land provides a vendor shall furnish the vendee with an abstract showing marketable title the abstract must show on its face a good title in the vendor ( 55 Am. Jur. 734 , §297; Thompson on ‘Abstracts and Titles,’ 14, §9), and . . . the showing of such a title in the abstract is a condition precedent to be performed by the vendor before he will be permitted to recover any balance claimed by him to be due on a contract, for the sale of real estate (66 C. J. 957, § 664; Thompson on ‘Abstracts and Titles,’ 12, § 8; Patton on ‘Titles,’ 119, §25).” (pp. 421, 422.)”
