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 36 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“There has been some confusion in some of the cases because they have not distinguished between implied grants of easements and implied reservations.... The reason for sustaining implied grants is apparent as “a grantor shall not derogate from his grant,” and when he intends to limit, restrict or burden the use of property conveyed ... for the benefit of property retained, he should express his intention in language that is not easily misunderstood.”
