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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““We fully agree with the trial court that the plaintiff is not entitled to a great deal. The record shows that during the pendency of this suit, the plaintiff from time to time was allowed and received from the defendant between $700 and $800 as alimony and suit money.' This sum, in our view of the case, amply-covers the full amount that the plaintiff was entitled to under the circumstances.””
