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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It has long been recognized that courts of equity may exercise their jurisdiction for the protection of the persons and estates of infants, even if they are not parties to a litigation. * * * “This jurisdiction is broad, comprehensive, and plenary, and is not confined to cases of a strictly fiduciary character. In all suits or legal proceedings, of whatever nature, in which the personal or property rights of a minor are involved the protective powers of a court of chancery may be invoked whenever it becomes necessary fully to protect such rights.””
