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 23 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““A codicil is a clause added to the will after its execution, the purpose of which is either to alter enlarge or restrain the provisions thereof. It does not supersede or revoke the will as an after-made will would do, but it is a part thereof, to be construed with it as one entire instrument.””
