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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The services were performed for the estate and not for Mrs. Eoss personally. The estate received the benefit of the services and ought to make the proper compensation. The appellee was employed on behalf of the estate and had the right to look to the estate for payment. The fact that he was retained by the executrix makes no difference. Her acts rightfully done in her official character are binding on the estate.” —Greene v. Grimshaw, 11 Ill. 391 .”
