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 19 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“. ‘Recording acts were passed for the purpose of providing a place and a method by which, an intending purchaser or encumbrancer can safely determine just what kind of a title he is in fact obtaining. A record of the titles to land is made and kept so that the title and its history be preserved and protected, and that all persons may obtain knowledge of the state of titles to real estate by deeds and conveyances, and also of all charges and encumbrances. It is recognized that intending purchasers and encumbrancers should be protected against the evils of secret grants and secret liens and the subsequent frauds attendant upon them.’ 45 Am. Jur., p. 435 , §29.” State et al. v. Young et al. (1958), 238 Ind. 452, 456 , 151 N. E. 2d 697 .”
