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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ * * * The court, in its findings, did not indicate the method by which it arrived at the above figure. It is less than the plaintiff alleges he should receive, and more than the defendant feels he should pay. It is sufficient, however, to say that we have carefully examined the record and there is abundant evidence to support the findings and judgment of the trial court, and therefore, under the established rule in this jurisdiction, they may not be disturbed on review. All presumptions are in favor of the findings of the trial court, and the record should be viewed in the light most favorable to the successful party. * *”
