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.
“If there be a bona fide intent to establish a domicile, and a bona fide residence of some sort, 'it is immaterial whether he lived in a hired house, a boarding house or (hotel), or his own dwelling.' Succession of Steers, 47 La. Ann. 1551 , 18 So. 503 . The domicile is then 'fixed,' even as soon as such residence has begun or lasted 'even for a few days' only. Gravillon v. Richard's Ex'r., 13 La. 293 , 33 Am.Dec. 563; Verret v. Bonvillain, 33 La. Ann. 1304 .”
