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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“That the result of the decree in the case at bar will permit the removal of the child beyond the limits of this state is not controlling. The power of a court having control of the custody of children to permit their removal beyond the limits of the state, and to require a proper bond for their return, is very generally recognized by the courts, and while such power should be exercised with caution, and under proper restrictions, it should not be made possible to destroy the controlling consideration that the best interest of the child shall be conserved, by denying the existence of such power. ( 175 Miss. at 11 , 166 So. at 367 ).”
