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 63 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Where the plaintiff is himself the debtor, the applicability of the present rule is apparent. No different situation is presented where the plaintiff has bought the land before the right to foreclose the mortgage has become barred. In such case he acquired the property subject to a valid existing lien, which was, presumably, taken into account in fixing the purchase price.- Such property, when he acquired it, was bound by the debt, and it would be as inequitable to relieve him of the burden without payment as it would to thus free the original debtor.””
