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 purposes of AFDC are to strengthen family life. Regulation 220.2. One of those purposes would be to promote family solidarity. See Congressional policy stated in 42 U.S.C. § 601 (1935). * * * To keep the family from being financially able to have the child home on weekends and holidays would not be consistent with purposes as set forth above.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“We are not impressed with the appellee’s argument of the difficulty of administration of the individual program when having to compute [benefits]. Difficulty of administration is not a sufficient reason for denial of benefits. To follow appellee’s reasoning would be to elevate form over substance.”
