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 26 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"The natural and proper relationship of a parent and child should be nurtured, encouraged and protected by the court after the breakdown of a marriage. . . . ". . . The responsibility for the cultivation of that relationship should rightfully *Page 57 be upon the father, and the mother, not upon the child. To so place it is to probably destroy it, not protect it."”
