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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Had a third person been the purchaser at the sale made no such question could have arisen and the present case must be disposed of precisely as though such had been the fact. The mortgagee acquires the same right and interest at the sale that a third person would, no more no less — -the only advantage he has is that to the amount of the decree in his favor he is not obliged to pay over the purchase price to that extent, his bid being a payment of his debt.””
