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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[E)ven if the divorce decree does not mandate support by a parent for the children, the absence of decree provision does not eliminate the intrinsic obligation.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. LJC v. HMW · In Re Cw“"`The duty of parents to provide for the maintenance of their children, is a principle of natural law; an obligation, says Puffendorf (b), laid on them not only by nature herself, but by their own proper act, in bringing them into the world: * * *. By begetting them, therefore, they have entered into a voluntary obligation to endeavour, as far as in them lies, that the life which they have bestowed shall be supported and preserved. And thus the children will have the perfect right of receiving maintenance from their parents.'"”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“"`* * * In appraising the sufficiency of the complaint we follow, of course, the accepted rule that a complaint should not be dismissed for failure to state a claim unless it appears beyond doubt that the plaintiff can prove no set of facts in support of his claim which would entitle him to relief." Warren v. Hart, Wyo., 747 P.2d 511, 512 (1987), quoting from Conley v. Gibson, 355 U.S. 41, 45-46 , 78 S.Ct. 99 [102] 2 L.Ed.2d 80 (1957).”
