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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The husband placed great confidence and trust in his wife, and was loathe to think that she was guilty of any wrongful conduct, though at times he could not resist suspecting her, but at such times she was able to convince him that she had done no criminal wrong. This, however, was mere suspicion, and not knowledge, and, after acquiring direct evidence of her guilt, he at no time thereafter made requests of her to grant to him such marital rights.””
