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 24 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The duty of the father to provide reasonably for the maintenance of his minor children, if he be of ability, is a principle of natural law. And he is under obligation to support them, not only by the laws of nature, but by the laws of the land. As said by Chancellor Kent, ‘The wants and weaknesses of children render it necessary that some person maintains them, and the voice of nature has pointed out the parent as the most fit and proper person.’ ” Pretzinger v. Pretzinger (1887), 45 Ohio St. 452 , 458, 15 N.E. 471 , 473, overruled on other grounds Meyer v. Meyer (1985), 17 Ohio St.3d 222 , 17 OBR 455, 478 N.E.2d 806 .”
