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 offense denounced by this statute is against the possession and not against the title to the property. If the defendant Foster had the legal title to the property, there was a way open to her to assert this right in a legal and orderly manner. The law will not permit her to assert her right vi et armis as against one in possession under color of title.”
