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 19 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"* * * It is well nigh axiomatic that no rule of court is ever effective to abrogate or modify a substantive rule of law. In 14 Am.Jur. Sec. 152, p. 357 it is said, `As against conflicting statutory provisions such rules are without force. They must be subordinate to the law, and in case of conflict the law will prevail.' Our own case of Adcox v. Southern Ry. Co., 182 Tenn. 6, 14 , 184 S.W.2d 37 , 156 A.L.R. 1091 supports the above text."”
