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

IT 2.)”

  2. ““A rule for the interpretation of wills, to which all other rules must yield, is that the intention of the testator must control. In order to ascertain that intention it is the duty of courts to consider the will as a whole and to give to its various provisions such construction, if .reasonably possible to do so, as will effectuate rather than defeat the intention of the testator.” (Syl. ¶ 1.)”
