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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““This Court in North v. Puckett, 164 Tenn. 100 , 46 S.W.2d 73 , 81 A.L.R. 1107 , said: ‘The right of dower con fers no title to any part of the husband’s land, after his death, until assignment of dower is made. It is a mere right which does not ripen into a title until some specific portion is set out and assigned as dower.’ ””
