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.
““It is contended on behalf of the appellants that tlie Martin claim ought to have been passed upon and settled before the property was,ordered to be resold, and that in failing- to do so the circuit court erred. There is no merit, however, in this objection. It is based upon the idea that, if the claim be valid, the title to the property is defective, and that relief should be decreed the purchaser accordingly. This is not in accordance with the settled doctrine relating to judicial sales in this state. There is perhaps no principle in our jurisprudence more firmly established by repeated decisions of the court than that the maxim caveat emptor strictly applies to judicial sales.””
