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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It does not appear that a judgment confirming a decretal judicial sale has ever been reversed by any judgment of this court, for the single reason that it was made under an erroneous decree, which was afterwards reversed upon appeal, where the court which rendered the judgment ordering the sale had jurisdiction of the parties and the subject-matter, and the sale was fairly and regularly made,” etc. (Emphasis ours.) Webb v. Webb’s Guardian, 178 Ky. 152 , 198 S.W. 736, 741 (1917). “But in other cases, as of a sale under a decree, the purchase is itself a meritorious act * * * and it is a matter of interest to all parties, and to the public, that such sales, if fairly made, shall be sustained, and they are sustained though such decree be thereafter reversed.” (Emphasis ours.) Clark’s Heirs v. Farrow, 49 Ky. (10 B. Mon.) 446, 450 , 52 Am.Dec. 552 (1850).”
