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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“We are convinced that the court, in making a division of the estate, did not take into consideration the large increment to appellee’s separate property by reason of community labor and as a result the division of the estate was manifestly unfair to appellant. This point of error is sustained.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Zisblatt v. Zisblatt“Although many acts by appellee deviated from ideal management practices, there is no showing or indication that these acts were committed for the purpose of perpetrating a fraud on appellant or others or that in fact a fraud resulted as a result of the acts. This point is overruled.”
