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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The effect of this added power of disposition, if exercised by her, it may be conceded, would have been to carry the fee, and thus cut. off the remainder. But it was only a power, and if not exercised her life estate was not thereby enlarged and converted into a fee, and the remainder over, at her death, is valid and takes effect in the remainderman. These positions, we think, are abundantly sustained by adjudications in this State and elsewhere.” [Citing numerous authorities.]”
