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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ * * * The children are entitled to be reared in a home as a part of a family and under circumstances conforming reasonably with the mode of living that the husband has set for himself. * * * The husband is a man of considerable wealth, owning and operating a successful and profitable business * * * and enjoying a large income. He owns extensive capital assets and during the period of the marriage the parties enjoyed a high standard of living. “ * * * As reluctant as we are to interfere with the conclusions of chancellors in cases of this kind, we must and do reverse that portion of the final decree with directions to reconsider the evidence in this cause and to make a suitable award * * * for support of the children.” (Emphasis added.)”
