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 23 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Its [the wetlands’] value was the same after the denial of the permit as before and it remained as it had been for milleniums. . . . [T]he board denied plaintiffs none of the normal traditional uses of the marshland including wildlife observation, hunting, haying of marshgrass, clam and shellfish harvesting, and aesthetic purposes. The board has not denied plaintiffs’ current uses of their marsh but prevented a major change in the marsh that plaintiffs seek to make for speculative profit.””
