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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““This court is committed to the doctrine that a trust estate should bear the expense of its administration and that where one of the parties interested brings a suit or takes other steps to protect or restore it, he is entitled to reimbursement out of the fund preserved or from those who accept the benefits of it. Tenney v. City of Miami Beach, 152 Fla. 126 , 11 So.2d 188 ; United States v. Equitable Trust Company, 283 U.S. 738 , 51 S.Ct. 639 , 75 L.Ed. 1379 ; Sprague v. Ticonic National Bank, 307 U.S. 161 , 59 S.Ct. 777 , 83 L.Ed. 1184 . In the light of these cases the chancellor was correct in the allowance of fees to complainants’ solicitors from the rentals recovered.””
