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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In view of the liberality of the law relative to alimony and the rights a married woman may have in property of her husband when she assists in its acquisition or conservation, in addition to her usual marital duties and obligations, which should be considered in granting divorces, when the wife is not shown to be unworthy, the application to file the petition should have been granted so that appropriate proceedings may be had thereon, to the end that right and justice shall be administered by due course of law. Sec. 4, Declaration of Rights, Fla.Constitution.””
