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

Slater v. Culpepper, 233 La. 1071 , 99 So.2d 348 (La.1957); Broyles v. Broyles, 215 So.2d 526 (La.App. 1st Cir. 1968).
