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 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A husband may not be joined with his wife as co-plaintiff in an action by her to recover damages for injury to her person. In the absence of averment and proof that she has paid the expenses of her cure and for domestic services rendered necessary by her disability out of her separate estate, she is not entitled to recover such expenses as a part of her damages.”
