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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Counsel insist that we should require the same amount of evidence to sustain the sale as if there were no statutory provision concerning the effect of the deed, and pronounce tax sales to be against common justice and right, and unworthy of favor. It is against common justice and right for a portion of the people to shirk the payment of taxes, and thus throw an additional burden upon the better disposed; and courts should give effect to all just legislative provisions for the subjection of all property to an equal burden.”
