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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It was an attempt/to convey by decree of a court. In such conveyances there must be one who holds the title to be conveyed and one who is to receive it; and, if the decree fails to make the conveyance, the title will remain where it was, for a decree should never be made to "operate against the manifest and declared, intention of the court.” (Italics ours.)”
