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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““A suit for maintenance by a wife against her husband is in the nature of an equitable action. There is no statute authorizing the allowance of alimony pendente lite in such actions; it is only by virtue of the inherent equity powers of the court that such allowance may be made. This being an equity proceeding, the court in appeal will review the testimony, and the findings of the lower court are not binding upon the appellate court. [Behrle v. Behrle, 120 Mo. App. 677 , 97 S. W. 1005 .]””
