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 58 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“While the word `similar' has at times been construed as synonymous with `same' or `identical' its usual significance is that contained in Webster's New International Dictionary (2d Ed.): `Nearly corresponding; resembling in many respects; somewhat like; having a general likeness.' The word as ordinarily used implies an allowance for some degree of difference. McLaughlin v. Poucher, 127 Conn. 441 , 446 , 17 A.2d 767 .”
