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.
“The Divorce act gives to chancery jurisdiction to award alimony and from time to time to increase or diminish it. Any contract between the parties attempting to fix alimony, is contrary to the policy of the statute and void, and no action can be based thereon, although the contract is evidential of what is reasonable alimony under the circumstances existing at the time the contract was made.”
