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 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

Kizziah, 651 N.E.2d 297, 298 (Ind.Ct.App.1995). An insurance obligation benefiting children in a property settlement agreement is valid and enforceable. Meece v.
