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 127 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It was the jury’s province to weigh all of the evidence and to decide what credence should be given to the whole or to any part of the testimony of each witness. 'The jury were the judges not only of the facts proved, but of the inferences to he drawn therefrom, provided such inferences were not unreasonable.’ Stephenville, N. & S. T. R. Co. v. Shelton, Tex.Com.App., 208 S. W. 915, 916 . It follows that the testimony of the taxicab driver that he did not see Lockley’s automobile before he hit it, or until he was very close to it, and the inferences that might reasonably be drawn from that testimony were still before the jury to be considered and weighed by them, notwithstanding his testimony that he was blinded by the lights of the automobile approaching him.””
