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 26 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““ * * * in Oklahoma, as in common law, it is the sale and the deed' and these alone that convey the property right, interest, or title of the mortgagee and mortgagor. It is the sale and deed and not the decree that gives to the mortgagee the fruits of his lien. It is the lien that gives to the mortgagee the right to have the specific property sold and the proceeds applied. The decree neither adds nor subtracts from the right; it only aids in the enforcement of it. “Until the sale and deed nothing has changed; the mortgagor remains the owner of the equity of redemption of fee title, and is entitled to the benefits of the land and the mortgagee is still only a lienor.””

2. ““A mortgage lien on real estate is not merged into a decree of foreclosure, nor is it extinguished by the mere rendition of a decree of foreclosure. “A mere decree of foreclosure is not such a judgment as would become dormant unless execution was issued as required by 12 O. S. 1941 §735.””
