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 47 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"It is our opinion, therefore, that the trial judge, under the particular facts of this case, should have suspended the judgment awarding the plaintiff alimony from June 1 until such time as the defendant is able to resume work, which fact cannot be ascertained without the introduction of additional evidence. For this reason we are remanding the case to the lower court, but, in the interest of justice, it is being remanded without restriction on the part of either party to introduce any evidence that may be available touching on Slagle's ability to meet these alimony payments from June 1 until his resumption of work, as well as thereafter."”
