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.

““The statute creating this exemption, after defining the right, gives, to the owner of the homestead the privilege of claiming the same at least as late as the levy of the execution. In any event he is not required to make the claim until after decree. It is a means of resistance against the execution. In a sense it is a post judgment privilege, and it is not required that the same shall be asserted as a defense against the cause of suit or action which ripens into a judgment or decree.””
