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 32 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[W]henever he ... has placed himself in a position that his personal interest has or may come in conflict with his duties as trustee, . . . a court of equity never hesitates to remove him.
