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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The contract must be binding upon both parties, or it cannot bind one. Hence it follows that a contract of marriage entered into between a man and a woman, one of whom is qualified to make such a contract and the other is not, is void and cannot be enforced. Neither can damages be recovered for a breach thereof, for the reason that the contract, not being binding as to one, is not binding ds to the other.””
