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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““. . . So, in relation to the minor children. For the loss of service, the father had his action; for the personal injury to the minors, severally, the action belonged to them. For torts, therefore, to wives and minor children, there are, as a general proposition, two actions; one by the husband and father, not for the injury to the person, but for his personal losses in the way of service, expenses, etc.; the other by the husband and wife for the injury to the person of the wife; and by the children severally, alone, for injury to their persons.” (Our italics.)”
