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 76 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““When considering this question it should always be borne in min'd that there is a marked distinction between permanent alimony decreed upon a dissolution of the marriage relation, and an allowance pendente lite of temporary alimony. In' respect to the latter the parties stand before the court in the continued relation to each other of husband and wife; but in respect to alimony allówed and to be paid after divorce from the bonds of matrimony, they stand before the court in such a status that the legal liability of the divofced husband to pay the permanent alimony is in the nature of an obligation or duty to a stranger. See Craig v. Craig, 45 N. E. Rep. 153.””
