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

1. ““No statute requires such a bond and, therefore, the remedy is by action upon the bond. The decree in the case determined the amount due under the mortgage. The report of sale made by the sheriff together with the costs thereof and the cost taxed in the case determined the amount of the deficiency. To recover deficiency and damages, if any, occasioned by the injunction, Davis Graff may sue on the bond but cannot have the same assessed against the sureties on the foot of the decree. The mortgage indebtedness was that of plaintiff and defendant Reuben Graff. Plaintiff is not alone liable for the deficiency. If suit is brought to recover the deficiency, all parties liable therefor should be brought in.””

2. ““Now therefore, the condition of this obligation is such that if the above bounden Meyer Epstein shall well and truly without fraud or delay pay or cause to be paid to the defendant Davis Graif or his legal representative any judgment or decree and all damages that may be awarded to Davis Graff against said plaintiff, Meyer Epstein, by reason of the pendency of said injunction, then this obligation shall cease and be null and void, otherwise to remain in full force and effect.””
