The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

““When we examine the evidence tending to prove extreme cruelty, we are of opinion that it falls far short of establishing a case in favor of either party. It is undoubtedly true that there was more or less wrangling between these parties growing out of money matters, and that because thereof they did not live as happily together ■ as they should have done, yet still no case of extreme cruelty is made out.””
