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 32 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Findings of fact challenged on appeal are not to be set aside unless, taking the evidence in the light most favorable to the prevailing party and excluding the effects of modifying evidence, they are clearly erroneous. When the evidence is conflicting, the credibility of the witnesses, the weight of the evidence and its persuasive effect are matters for the exclusive determination of the trier of fact, and although there may be inconsistencies or substantial evidence to the contrary, its determination must stand if supported by credible evidence.”
