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

And never has there been a greater need for the courts to maintain a high level of moral conduct than exists today. * * *Our courts will continue to insist upon a high level of moral conduct on the part of custodians of children, and will never succumb to the ‘Hollywood’ type of morality so popular today, which seems to condone and encourage the dropping of our moral guard.””
