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.
“(1) right to retain lien until indebtedness thereby secured is paid; (2) right to realize upon security by judicial public sale; (3) right to determine when such sale shall be held, subject only to discretion of court; (4) right to protect its interest in the property by bidding at such sale and thus to assure having mortgaged property devoted primarily to satisfaction of debt, either through receipt of proceeds of fair competitive sale or by taking property itself; and (5) right to control meanwhile the property during period of default, subject only to discretion of court, and to have the rents and profits collected by receiver for satisfaction of the debt.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“But in any public sale of mortgaged property the creditor, for his protection, may bid at the sale and may apply the amount of his debt upon his bid. If some third party bids more than the amount of the debt secured, the creditor will be paid in full from the proceeds of the sale. If the creditor is forced to buy in the property at the amount of his debt, or less, he has acquired the property in lieu of his debt.”
