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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““We have consistently held, through a long line of cases, that the question of alimony (under the provisions of § 34-1210, Ark. Stats. 1947), and the amount to be allowed to the wife pending the suit for divorce, together with her costs for attorneys’ fees and suit money, are within the sound discretion of the court, and unless abused, the court’s action will not b’e disturbed here.””
