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.

““ * * But a modification’ as to custody may be justified where material facts, although existing at the time of the rendition of the decree, were not presented to or considered by the court if such facts indicate that the welfare of the child will be served by the modification. 27 C.J.S., Divorce § 317, page 1189; Jackson v. Jackson, [200] Okl. [333], 193 P.2d 561 . This rule is especially applicable where the decree was obtained by default (only one side of the issue being presented to the court in such cases) and where the defendant was induced to suffer the default by fraud on the part of the plaintiff.””
