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.
““The sale and redemption are in a sense parts of the foreclosure proceeding. The contract rate on a mortgage or other debt which constitutes the lien is carried into the judgment. While in a certain sense the foreclosure and sale satisfy and extinguish the mortgage and judgment, they do not destroy them so far as the mortgagor is concerned. . . . [I]t is reasonable to infer that the legislature, in dealing with the foreclosure of liens and the sale of property to satisfy such liens, had in mind the rates of interest which the debts or liens carried. ... In the act regulating the redemption of real estate sold at judicial sale the provisions fixing the rights of creditors to redeem from each other at specified times specially refer to the liens of the mortgage and judgment, and in speaking of the interest in the same connection it is fair to infer that it was the mortgage and judgment rate which was in the mind of the legislature. ” Clark, 79 Kan. at 615-616 .
