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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The respondent, as mortgagee after condition broken, had the legal title to the property, and the right to the possession thereof, against everybody; and his right to recover against every person unlawfully converting the same in hostility to his rights as mortgagee was just as perfect as if he had been the absolute owner thereof; the only difference being that, as against persons claiming under the mortgagor, or his assignees, his right to damages would be limited to the amount due upon his mortgage.””
