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.
““Whatever may be the effect of the conduct of the husband after the homestead status is once established (Gooch v. Gooch et al., 38 Okla. 300 , 133 P. 242 , 47 L. R. A. [N. S.] 480; Alton Merc. Co. v. Spindel, 42 Okla. 210 , 140 P. 1168 ; Maloy v. Cameron & Co., 29 Okla. 763 , 119 P. 587 ), there is no question in our mind that, under the terms of the Constitution above quoted, where the title to the land is in the husband, the wife, living with him as his spouse; cannot, without his approval and consent, determine that the homestead shall be located upon his land, and impress his land with that character.””
