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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““We think the court erred also in giving the complainant [mother] the custody of the two infant children. They are now living in a comfortable home where they have the advantages of a home and the care and attention of their father, their grandfather and grandmother. If they are awarded to their mother it does not appear from the record that she has any fixed place of abode or any place to rear these minor children; This being true, as heretofore stated, we think the court erred in awarding the custody of these children to their mother. ’ ’”
