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.
““. . . that when a divorce is granted a wife by reason of the fault of the husband an allowance of alimony and division of property made by the trial court under the provisions of G. S. 1949, 60-1511 rest in the court’s discretion and such will not be set aside or disturbed on appeal, unless it clearly appears from the record that the court failed to exercise or abused its discretion.” (p. 641.)”
