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 34 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ If a party executes and delivers to another a solemn deed of conveyance of the land itself, and suffers that deed to go upon record, he says to all the world: ‘Whatever right I have, or may have claimed to have, in this land, I have conveyed to my grantee, and though I am yet in possession it is for a temporary purpose, without claim of right, and merely as a tenant at sufferance to' my grantee.5””
