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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[a]s a general rule, the size of the award for damages in a case such as this is left to the enlightened conscience of impartial jurors, subject to approval of the trial court. Jones v. Spindel, 122 Ga. App. 390 ( 177 SE2d 187 ) (1970). The appellate court will not disturb the award “absent an award so excessive or inadequate as to shock the judicial conscience.” [Emphasis supplied.] [Davis v. Glaze, supra, 182 Ga. App. at 23 .]”
