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 29 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““Specific incidents of indignities, appearing from the testimony, were that respondent accused libellant of infidelity, a matter to which we have already referred, and, without justification, charged that he had contracted a venereal disease; that respondent, without provocation, threw a knife, candlestick, and a sugar bowl at libellant, upon specified occasions, struck him with a potato masher, and slapped him on the face. In a number of these instances libellant’s testimony was corroborated by disinterested witnesses. The testimony indicates that respondent is afflicted with a nagging, suspicious, and jealous disposition, has no interest in the welfare of libellant, and has subjected him to unmerited reproach, studied neglect, intentional incivility, abusive language, and, in general, pursued for many years a course of conduct intended to humiliate and degrade him.””
