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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“" True, the rule stated is merely a rule of construction and not a rule of law. It raises a presumption for the court’s guidance where the intent of the testator is not otherwise determinable.” Brown v. Robbins (1948), 142 N. J. Eq. 169, 171, 59 A. 2d 378, 379 . See also 174 A. L. R. 319, 322, 323; 2 Scott, supra, Section 128.2, pp. 1012-1015.”
