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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Where a systematic course of conduct extending through the years is relied upon by a spouse to justify a divorce on the ground of cruelty, which renders the marriage yoke insupportable, the acts of the marital complaining party must be such as not to have added fuel to the fire and to have created the circumstances which led to the conduct of the other.””
