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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

This, too, although the purchaser was a party to the suit in which the decree was made. Nor, if notice be given to the purchaser at the time of the sale, and before he purchased, that an effort would be made to reverse the decree.””
