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.
“[T]he husband’s .dominion over [personal property]' is more complete. He is not prohibited by the laws of Arkansas from selling, pledging, mortgaging, or giving it to third parties free from the rights of dower and from all other rights and claims of his wife. While she has an inchoate right of dower in the real estate of her husband while living, she has no right whatever in his personal property until his death. Her interest in the latter does not accrue until he dies, and then it attaches to the personal property of which he was seised or possessed at his death, only.”
