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 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “[T]here is an abundance of authority to the effect that the domestic or local court rendering judgment upon a judgment of a foreign state has the power and authority ... to enforce the payment of such judgments ... as if the judgment had been originally rendered therein. [[Image here]] [T]he binding force of the judgment will be obligatory upon the courts of a sister state, provided the court rendering it had jurisdiction of the subject-matter and of the parties, and it may proceed to enforce the judgment by the modes of procedure prevailing in that (local) jurisdiction.””

2. “a judgment of a local court based upon the judgment of a sister state for alimony or support of children payable in installments, can go no further than to adjudge a recovery of the accrued payments, since such judgments, especially future installments, are subject to modification by the court of the jurisdiction rendering it and perhaps any court which may acquire jurisdiction of the matter.”
