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 37 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The definition of any word or phrase must be considered in the factual context in which it is used or applied. Similarly any decisional construction of the phrase ‘head of a family’ must be viewed in the light of the circumstances to which it is applied. No Missouri case has undertaken to enunciate an all-inclusive precise definition of the phrase and it may well be that the phrase is incapable of an all-inclusive precise definition, particularly in view of the manifold factual circumstances that can develop in this field. “We, therefore, feel that more than one non-inclusive definition is permissible and necessary to cover varying contexts.””
