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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In construing a will it must be presumed that the testator knew the law. — Nangle v. Mullanny et al., 113 Ill. App. 457 . “This presumption is unnecessary in the case at bar. The testator was conceded to have been learned in the law, admitted to have once been a justice of the supreme court of Missouri, and, unless the language in the will indicates to the contrary, we must presume, that he used the word ‘executor’ advisedly; that had he intended to appoint Johnson and Wheeler personally as trustees, and to devise his property to them in personam in trust, he would have used language sufficient to convey that intention. * *”
