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

A mortgagee is not disqualified to purchase the mortgaged property at tax sale and may assert such tax title against the world. * * *" (emphasis ours)”
