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 19 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“It is plain in this case that the trust created is an active trust. The trustee, under the terms of the trust deed and under the will, which was executed at the same time and as a part of the same transaction, was required to pay all assessments and taxes of every kind against the properties, which were located in different counties in the state. Upon the death of Mr. Hayward, the trustee was required to advance to the appellant the sum of $200 on the first of each month.”
