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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"The witnesses were all before the chancellor who personally heard the testimony and the argument of counsel. He found in favor of the appellees. This court, therefore, is confronted with the old and long established rule of law that where the trial judge hears the testimony every presumption favors the correctness of his judgment, and he who complains of error must make it clearly appear since an appellate court will not overturn the judgment of the trial judge unless his findings are clearly against the weight of the evidence. Appellants have not met this test. The evidence is adequate to sustain the chancellor's determination that the broker did not commit a breach of duty owed to his principals."”
