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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Unless there are special and controlling circumstances to the contrary, a conveyance made to the purchaser’s wife raises a stronger presumption of a gift or advancement [than] one made to any other person, even ... to one’s own child, (citation omitted) This presumption, the strongest in such cases, in effect means that clearer and more conclusive evidence is required to convert a fee simple title to a wife into a resulting trust in favor of her husband than in any other such cases.” (emphasis added).”
