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 24 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The rights and remedies of a contingent remainderman are necessarily much more extensive in equity than at law. ‘While he will not be allowed to recover damages for that which may not be his, he should be allowed to prevent the destruction of that which may become his.’ 16 Cyc. 658, 659; Taylor v. Adams, 93 Mo.App. 277 . Thus a contingent remainderman may not maintain an action for waste, although he is entitled to have his contingent interest protected in equity, and an injunction will lie to prevent future waste.””
