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 26 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Tbe doctrine seems to be well establisiied that an agreement in writing to give a mortgage, or a mortgage defectively executed, or an imperfect attempt to create a mortgage or to appropriate specific property to tbe discharge of a particular debt, will create a mortgage in equity, or a specific lien on tbe property so intended to be mortgaged. 1 Am. Lead. Cas. Eq. 510; In re Howe, 1 Paige, 125. The maxim of equity upon which this doctrine rests is that equity looks upon things agreed to he done as actually performed, the true meaning of which is that equity will treat the subject-matter, as to collateral consequences and incidents, in the same manner as if the final acts contemplated by the parties had been executed exactly as they ought to have been. Story, Eq. Jur. §§ 64, 790; Will. Eq. Jur. 298, 209.””
