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.
““Appellant insists that the record fails to show either that appellee had a meritorious cause of action, or that she exercised proper diligence in preparing the same, and that the court abused its discretion in setting aside the default and opening up the judgment. It is well settled in this state that a motion to set aside a default is addressed to the sound, legal discretion of the court and that unless it appears that such discretion has been wrongfully and oppressively exercised, a court of review will not interfere. Culver v. Brinkerhoff, 180 Ill. 548 ; Eggleston v. Royal Trust Co., 205 Ill. 178 . There is nothing in the record tending to show that the action of the trial court in the case at bar was wrongful or oppressive.””
