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.
““The property affected by this trust is now subject to be sold by the plaintiff or to be sold by the sheriff on execution on a judgment against him, if there were such a judgment. He could not under the power given him in the will of his father, by his own will at his death, defeat a deed he might now make or that the sheriff might 'make for him. “ It is contrary to the spirit of our law to hinder a person sui juris in the management of property that is altogether his own. [Dado v. Maguire, 71 Mo. App. 642 ; Underhill on Trusts (Am. Ed.), p. 370, art. 57, and notes; Sears v. Choate, 146 Mass. 395 ; Grosvenor v. Bowen, 15 R. I. 549.] ””
