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

1. ““When any testator omits to provide in 'his. will for any of his children, or for the issue of any deceased child unless it appears that such omission was intentional, such child, or the issue of such child, must: have the same share-in the estate of the testator, as if he had died intestate, and succeeds thereto as provided in the preceding section.””

2. ““I,t is true that, in the cited cases, the, section of the statute above quoted (now section 1570) was not involved, but it was therein held that the state statute, prohibiting either spouse from willing away from the other more than two-thirds of his or her property, applied to a Choctaw citizen of the half-blood, and that such statute was not in conflict with the act of Congress above quoted. The reason for so holding applies with equal force to the statute herein involved.””
