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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The power of disposition, which accompanies a general or indefinite devise, and thus makes the estate granted a fee simple, need not become effective on the death of the testator, but the right to exercise such power may be deferred, within the ' limitations prescribed by the statute against perpetuities. During such time a determinable fee may exist in the first taker, which will be enlarged into a fee simple, upon the happening of the event that marks the limit of time during which the power of alienation is withheld.””
