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.
““Where a contract for the sale of land is in the form of a bond for title given by the vendor, conditioned on the performance of the vendee’s promises, a court of equity may upon a breach of the contract by the vendee foreclose his rights thereunder, and in granting appropriate relief may, at the instance of the vendor, who retained title, order a sale of the property, where it will not be inequitable to the vendee.””
