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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The homestead of the defendants was purchased by Meyer, after his insolvency, in the name of his wife, but this fact does not make it any the less the family homestead. If Meyer had purchased the homestead in his own name, it would, under the constitution and laws of the state of Arkansas, have been exempt, and the creditors were not, therefore, defrauded or prejudiced by the fact that it was purchased in the name of the wife.””
