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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The complainant’s bill, and her testimony relied upon to support it, present a sad exhibition of the indecencies and immoralities of these parties, and the continuance of which, through almost an entire generation, unpunished, is now sought by the complainant to be made the basis of the most sacred of all contracts known to the law. A court of equity will never set its seal of confirmation to such baseness and immorality.””
