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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The fact that a disability claimant is able to sustain a family relationship certainly does not demonstrate a capability for sustained gainful work where there are debilitating impairments present. (In Hogard the claimant married, adopted a child, had a child of his own, and cared for the two children while his wife worked outside the home. His daily activities are certainly more extensive than those of plaintiff.)”
