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.

““Hence we have held the action of the commission in refusing to grant a permit must be sustained unless it appears that it acted ‘arbitrarily, illegally or in abuse of its discretion.’... .The issue so presented is one which only the trial court can itself determine upon the basis of the facts found by it or by a committee or referee. In determining that question the court must often consider how the case stood before the commission.... If it should appear from the records of the commission that an applicant offered no evidence before it as to some fact which the Legislature has made a condition of the issuance of a permit, and the permit was refused on that ground, proof before the court that he actually had complied with the condition would not justify an order to the commission that the permit issue....” (Italics not in original.) “Where it does not appear on the hearing upon the appeal what conclusions of fact the commission reached, the court can only, by hearing the evidence or by reference, determine what the facts really were and assume that the commission had those facts before it.” (Id. 526; italics not in original.)”
