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 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““We know of no principle of law by which a woman who has a meritorious cause of action for divorce employs an attorney to institute and prosecute such an action can, after it has been instituted and carried on for some time, deprive him of his right to compensation for the services so rendered in that action by a reconciliation with her husband followed by a resumption of cohabitation. It would seem that upon the clearest principles of common honesty as well as law that an attorney in such a predicament ought to be compensated for the services rendered and that the wife should be allowed suit money for that purpose.””
