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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The direction in the ‘First’ paragraph of his will is merely that his executrix ‘pay all my just debts and funeral expenses as soon after my decease as conveniently may be.’ That is but declaratory of the rules of law which are applicable generally to the use of a deceased’s property for the payment of his debts. It added nothing, and its omission would not have detracted in any way . . .””
