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.

Berry““Where a will provides ‘All receipts from oil, gas or other minerals shall be divided equally among my heirs, except rentals from oil and gas lease which shall be paid to Amanda Clark’, and thereafter a bonus is given in consideration of the execution of an oil and gas lease on property covered by the terms of said will, held, that said bonus so received will be treated as ‘rentals from oil and gas lease’ as distinguished from ‘oil, gas or other minerals.’ ””
