Most-quoted passages

These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 19 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“It follows from the principle that the lien is an incident of the debt and passes with it by operation of law, that an express assignment of the security interest is not required.
