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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Again: the third clause serves further to [show], that the second must be restricted in the manner we have stated. It is limited in its objects in covenanting `for quiet enjoyment against the grantor, his heirs and assigns.' Why thus restrict the covenant for quiet enjoyment, if it was intended by the first part of the second clause to make the words, `grant, bargain, sell,' import a general warranty? It would destroy the harmony of the section; but all its parts operate together upon the construction we have given it.”
