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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“* * * Proof of one act of adultery, or even of several acts with the same paramour, does not necessarily render morally unfit a mother who is otherwise suited for custody, . . . . However, where the mother has recently lived in open and public adultery with her paramour for a substantial period of time, in total disregard for the moral principles of our society, the courts have generally held the mother is morally unfit for custody. [Johnson v. Johnson, 268 So.2d 114, 118 (La.App., 3d Cir. 1972)]”
