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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The law of the matrimonial domicile governs with respect to the substantial rights of husband and wife, as between themselves and their privies, in choses in action accruing to either, although the law of the forum may affect the right of either to bring an action thereon without joining the other. Thus, where a right of action for a personal injury to the wife constitutes her separate property according to the law of the matrimonial domicile and the wife is injured while temporarily within another state, that law has been held to govern her right in such cause of action.””
