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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The defendant stands before the court as an innocent party. She married the deceased Titus in good faith, lived with him as his wife for thirty-five years, and through the years helped accumulate the property now claimed by the plaintiff. In equity and good conscience the defendant is entitled to the property. . . .” (p. 158.)”
