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 43 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““And so it is that by the acceptance of the terms and conditions of Chapter 8277, Acts of 1919, the relator entered into a contractual relation with the City of Jacksonville by which he was entitled to receive certain benefits and, in the event of being discharged while the provisions of that Act obtained, he was entitled to a refund of the amount paid into the fund, plus four per cent., and his rights accruing under the provisions of that Act could not be abrogated by any subsequent statute. “When, however, the Legislature amended Chapter 8277, supra, by the provisions of Chapter 11566, Acts of 1925, and the petitioner continued to pay into the fund after that Act became effective he will be estopped from contending that he did not as to all payments made after the effective date of Chapter 11566, supra, accept the terms of the Act as thereby amended. Under the amendatory Act he was only entitled to receive, in case of discharge, 50% of the amount contributed by him after the effective date of that Act. But this Act could not affect his right to receive the full amount which he has paid under the original Act, plus four per cent, interest.’ See Voorhees v. City of Miami, 145 Fla. 402 , 199 So. 313 .”

They rest solely on the legal fiction and are not contract obligations at all in the true sense, for there is no agreement.'”
