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 29 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Under these various provisions, it was the intention of the legislature, as settled and determined by the courts in the eases already cited, that such policies should not be subjected to the lien of creditors either of the husband or the wife,—as to the former by the express words of the statute, and as to the latter by the determination of the courts,—and there is no ground for claiming that either the policy, or the proceeds which might arise from the same before such payment is made, are subject to be reached in advance by a creditor, or that the policy can be assigned and held by a court of equity for the benefit of creditors until it becomes due and payable.””
