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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““If the wife should be without means to prosecute her suit, the allowance to her of suit money is not only equitable and just, but necessary, and should not be denied on a proper showing. But where the issues on the trial are found for the husband, the wife should not be allowed to draw upon his means for money to prosecute an appeal, unless the trial courut is satisfied the appeal is taken in entire good faith and possesses some merit. ’ ’”
