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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"* * * But it is settled without conflict of authority that courts of one state or country have no authority under any circumstances to divest the title to real estate situated in a foreign state or country, or to direct the sale of such land to be made by any one occupying a fiduciary capacity; the extent of the power in such cases being to decree that the person invested with the title make conveyance of it, which may be enforced by personal process against the owner. But the decree is not effectual unless the owner of the land in person executes a conveyance to it. " (Emphasis added.)”
