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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The proceeds of a policy of life or health insurance to the total amount of $20,-000.00 only, the absence of any agreement or assignment to the contrary, shall inure to the separate use of the insured, his surviving spouse or children, as the case may be, independently of the creditors or any of them, and shall not be subject to the payment of the debts of any one or all of such persons, notwithstanding that the proceeds may be payable directly to the insured or surviving spouse or children as the named beneficiary or beneficiaries or otherwise. . . .””
