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.
“". . . No person can become a purchaser of an interest in property, where he has a duty to perform which is inconsistent with the character of a purchaser; in other words, where a person stands in the situation of a trustee for others, and bound as such to protect the general interests of those for whose benefit the trust was created, in regard to the subject of the sale, he is incapacitated from purchasing for his own benefit, no matter by whom, or under what proceeding the sale is made. . . ."”
