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.
““Statutes relating, to the same subject, although enacted at different times, are in pari materia and- should be construed together. (Citation.) 2 Lewis’ Sutherland, Statutory Construction, 844, gives the rule: ‘Statutes which are not inconsistent with one another, and which relate to the same subject matter, are in pari materia, and should be construed together; and effect should be given to them all, although they contain no reference to one another, and were passed at different times. Acts in pari materia should be construed together and so as to harmonize and give effect to their various provisions.’ (Citations.) A statute will not be construed as repealing by implication an earlier statute, unless there is a plain and unavoidable repugnance. In State v. Omaha Elevator Co., 75 Neb. 637 [ 106 N. W. 979 , 110 N. W. 874 ], we held: ‘All statutes upon the same general subject are to be regarded as part of one system, and later statutes are to be considered as supplementary or complementary to those preceding them on the same subject.” (p. 103.)”
