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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[5]aid intended husband and wife each shall be separate in property. Accordingly, they and each of them does hereby formally renounce those provisions of the Revised Civil Code which establish a community of acquets and gains between husband and wife. All property and effects of the said husband and wife, whether owned by him or by her at the time of the celebration of said intended marriage, or acquired by him or by her during said marriage, are hereby declared to be separate property, and that of the wife, separate and para-phernal property, and they and each of them does hereby expressly reserve to themselves individually the entire administration of their respective particular movable and immovable property, and the respective free enjoyment of each of the fruits and revenues of each. Each of them did further declare that each individually shall, after the marriage, be responsible for the individual obligations which each has before the marriage, and which each incurs individually after the marriage.”
