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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“An acknowledgment of the past-due debt and agreement to pay by the mortgager either before or after the statutory bar, constitutes a new point from which the statute begins to run as between the parties, just as a payment made upon the debt foes, but unless the agreement for extension or the payment is endorsed on the margin of the record it cannot affect third-parties who have not in some manner recognized the validity of the prior mortgage.”
