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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““A proviso should be construed together with the enacting clause and with a view to giving effect to each part of the act and to carrying out the intention of the Legislature as manifest by the entire act and other acts in pari materia. Where by reason of omission or by accidental mistake in the use of words, the proviso can be given no sensible effect, it will be disregarded.””
