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 63 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““That being so, where the statute creating the exception is repealed, the general statute which was in force all the time would then be applicable to ail cases according to its terms. And this would be no violation of the rule of construction before referred to, that the repeal of a repealing act should not revive the act repealed. The act of 1858 was equivalent to a proviso attached to the general rule that it should not be applicable to foreclosure defendants. But if a proviso creating an exception to the general terms of a statute should be repealed, courts would be afterwards bound to give effect to it according to those general terms, as though the proviso had never existed. And this could not be said to revive a repealed statute. The rule against this relates to cases of absolute repeal, and- not to cases where a statute is left in force, and all that is done in the way of repeal is to except certain cases from its operation. In such cases the statute does not need to be revived, for it remains in force, and-the exception being taken away, the statute is afterwards to be applied without the exception.””
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Pepin TP. v. Sage““Now, as I remarked above, section 20 of chapter 35 of the Code was broad and comprehensive, applying every statute of limitation against the state. The act of 1875 [Acts 1875, p. 118, c. 55] only changed or modified it to a certain extent — that is, prevented its operation as to judgments and claims of the state, leaving it in all other respects operative — simply made an exception to the generality of the operation of the statute; and when that act was Itself repealed, and the exception or limitation was no longer In force, said section 20 operates free of that exception. It was only a partial abrogation of section 20. It would have been different, had it been a total abrogation.””
