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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Divorce is a remedy for the innocent and injured, and the complainant who has himself broken the marriage contract cannot well ask to be relieved from its obligations because his spouse may also have broken it. The law is for the assistance of those who obey it, and not for those who violate it, and, where two parties are both in the same wrong, the court helps neither.” .”
