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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The courts of this state will recognize the right of the owner to dispose of his property by contract, and will uphold such right, although made in another jurisdiction, when not against the policy of our law, or plainly injurious to the rights of the resident creditor.””
