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 42 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

7 later decisions quote this exact passage“`the constitutionally-protected paramount right of parents to custody, care, and control of their children must prevail.'”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“without proof of inconsistent conduct, the `best interest' test does not apply and the trial court is limited to finding that the natural parent is unfit to prohibit all visitation or contact with his or her child.”
