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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““If the county court had clear jurisdiction in the matters, as claimed by the petitioner, it certainly ought not to have put this insolvent estate to the expense of selling the land, when it is absolutely certain that it could not have been sold at such price as would more than pay the mortgage debt. According to the petition, neither the estate, the creditors, nor the administrator, the widow, nor the heirs, nor any one except the petitioner himself, has any interest in such a sale, except to pay the expenses, or would in any respect be benefited by it.” (p. 642.)”
