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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““We think the facts fairly justify treating the note secured by the mortgage as a collateral security for an existing indebtedness of $175. Such a security gave the plaintiff not only the right to appropriate the laud pledged for the satisfaction of the principal indebtedness, but, also the right to whatever advantage there might be in the ability to sue the defendant upon the note given as security as well as upon the principal debt. In re Waddell-Entz Co., 67 Conn. 324 , 334 [ 35 Atl. 257 ].””
