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.
““The rents cannot be set off against the taxes. This is also in accordance with the statutes above referred to. We are presuming, of course, that Rice was under no legal or moral obligation to pay the taxes, that he had a perfect right to purchase the property for the taxes, that the taxes were legal, and that it was merely for some irregularity in the tax proceedings for which said tax deed was set aside. The giving the tax-title holder the right to the possession of the property until the taxes are paid is one of the means employed by the state to enforce the prompt payment of taxes.” (p. 750.)”
