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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

Since the proceeding is equitable in nature, the court has jurisdiction to adjust all equities in respect to the property. .... The court has authority to give directions ... to the end that justice be done between the parties.”
