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.

“[i]t is elementary that every element of a criminal offense must be proved sufficiently to satisfy the jury (not the court) of its existence.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Ellis · Wolfe v. State““It is contended by the State that while the charge supra is clearly erroneous, the error is waived by reason of the provisions of sub-paragraph 4 Sec. 215 Florida Criminal Procedure Act, sub-paragraph 4 Sec. 918.10 Florida Statutes 1941 (same F.S.A.). “We cannot agree with this view. We must bear in mind the due process clause of both our State and Federal Constitutions. We are convinced that due process of law contemplates trial in a criminal case by a fair jury, with full evidence and correct charges or instructions to the jury as to the law. Of these elements of fundamental safeguard, an accused may not be deprived either by statute or rule of court. See Lawson v. State, 125 Fla. 335 , 169 So. 739 , and cases there cited. “When the provisions of statutes collide with provisions of the Constitution the statute must give way.””
