The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

1. ““The rule that a vendor is precluded from forfeiting a land contract when he himself is in default in making payments on the mortgage is not applicable under the present circumstances. The defendant is largely responsible for vendor’s defaults, and could have protected herself under the contract. The rule cannot be invoked in the present case for the purpose of escaping payment and at the same time retaining possession of the property. See Daly v. Kramer, 235 Mich. 581 ; Langley v. Kirker, 247 Mich. 443, 445 .””
