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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Long ago, it became too well settled to be questioned, that policies of insurance against fire are personal contracts with the assured, which do not attach to the realty, or in any manner go with the same, as incident to a conveyance or transfer of the title to lands. Culbertson v. Cox, 29 Minn. 309 , 13 N. W. 177 , 43 Am. St. 204; Imperial Elev. Co. v. Bennett, 127 Minn. 256 , 149 N. W. 372 ; Remington v. Sabin, 132 Minn. 372 , 157 N. W. 504 . But the proceeds of an insurance policy may be affected by a trust for the benefit of someone other than the named insured.””
