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 25 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In any event the landlords’ actions clearly established a no waiver policy. They twice were forced to institute suits to collect back taxes, and in July of 1962 brought suit in the People’s Court of Montgomery County to recover possession of the premises. Even after this suit was terminated because of the lack of jurisdiction of the People’s Court, the breach of the covenant to pay rent when due continued. It is clear that the tenants were not misled as to the landlords’ determination to enforce their rights under the lease. Thus the former breaches were not waived and could properly be given consideration by the trial judge when deciding whether it was appropriate to grant equitable relief to prevent the forfeiture of the lease.” [Emphasis added]. Streeter v. Middlemas, 240 Md. at 175 .”
