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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““That the appellant and his counsel were present at all stages of the proceeding; that they allowed said proceeding to proceed as a default; that they were present and had an opportunity to hear the respondent’s recitation of the agreement reached between the parties; and that at the conclusion of her testimony, appellant withdrew his petition allowing the respondent to take her divorce by means of her cross-petition. This being so, the plaintiff-appellant has acquiesced in the judgment of the trial court, and may not be heard to complain on appeal of that to which he has given his implied consent.””
