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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It seems to us clear that there is a legislative declaration of forfeiture in advance, and that upon the happening of the event, the forfeiture occurs, and no judicial proceeding is necessary to determine it. The language of the statute is clear, positive and peremptory. ‘Any purchaser failing . . . shall forfeit,’ and the duty cast upon the county attorney is equally clear and positive not to seek a judicial determination of the forfeiture, not to foreclose any equitable mortage, or to collect the bond, but to eject the purchaser if in possession. An ejectment implies full title in the plaintiff and no rights in the defendant. It implies a forfeiture already existing, and not one to be declared.” (p. 548.)”
