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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“It has been repeatedly held by this court that a deed of trust given to secure the purchase money of a homestead is valid without the signature of the wife. If that be true, we can see no good or sufficient reason why the same rule should not equally apply as to money advanced to build the very house converted into a homestead. The money, while it may not be technically purchase money, creates and brings into existence the very thing that becomes the homestead. Every reason advanced for the protection of the purchase money as against a homestead right applies with equal force and effect to money used to construct the house; that is, to create and bring into existence the very subject claimed as a homestead. Until such claims are satisfied, homestead, rights cannot attach as against them.”
