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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In Harner v. Harner, 255 Mich. 515 , we held that a divorce decree may join an award for alimony with an award in lieu of dower, but if so awarded in a lump sum, contempt for nonpayment thereof may not be adjudged. Under the terms of the decree in the instant case, contempt proceedings would not lie, and the decree not being a money decree is not subject to amendment.””
