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.

““* * * The object of this suit was to establish a resulting trust in her favor and, in such case, the more burdensome rule prevails, requiring that the quantum of proof must be such that the evidence must be so clear, strong and unequivocal as to remove from the mind of the Chancellor every reasonable doubt as to the existence of the trust. See Lofton v. Sterrett, 23 Fla. 565 , 2 So. 837 ; Geter v. Simmons, 57 Fla. 423 , 49 So. 131 ; Johnston v. Sherehouse, 61 Fla. 647 , 54 So. 892 ; Burgess v. Wirt, 91 Fla. 425 , 108 So. 169 ; Brown v. Brown, 106 Fla. 423 , 143 So. 737 ; Frank v. Eeles, 152 Fla. 869 , 13 So.2d 216 , and Powell v. Race, 151 Fla. 536 , 10 So.2d 142 , and cases there cited. There is no rule of evidence more strongly imbedded in our jurisprudence.””
