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.

“Appellant is correct that to be guilty of the offense of driving under the influence one must drive or be in actual physical control of a moving vehicle while under the influence of alcohol. Carr v. State, 169 Ga. App. 679 (2) ( 314 SE2d 694 ) (1984). However, “ ‘(i)t is well settled that the driving of an automobile while intoxicated may be shown by circumstantial evidence.’ (Cits.)” Phillips v. State, 185 Ga. App. 54 (1) ( 363 SE2d 283 ) (1987). “ ‘In order to sustain the judgment of conviction, the evidence need not exclude every inference or hypothesis except the guilt of the accused, but only reasonable inferences and hypotheses, so as to justify the inference, beyond a reasonable doubt, of guilt.’ (Cit.)” Frye v. State, 189 Ga. App. 181 ( 375 SE2d 101 ) (1988).”
