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 107 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ * * * if the gift is absolute and the time for payment only is postponed the gift is not suspended, but the title vests at once. While a great many authorities might be cited in support of this proposition it is sufficient to refer to Matter of Embree ( 9 App. Div. 602 ; affd., 154 N. Y. 778 ); Dickerson v. Sheehy ( 156 App. Div. 101 ; affd., 209 N. Y. 592 ) and Cammann v. Bailey ( 210 N. Y. 19, 30 ), where the leading authorities on this subject are reviewed. “ In the case now under consideration we think that the intention of the testatrix is clear that .the gift of the residuary estate is absolute and only the time of payment or enjoyment is postponed.” (See, also, Matter of Carroll, 274 N. Y. 288 .)”
