The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

“- “The testimony was in some degree conflicting, but on appeal we must give weight to the testimony that tends to support the judgment, and view it in the light most favorable to appellee. Express findings, and findings implied from the nature of the judgment rendered, will not be disturbed on appeal where there is some evidence to support them, even though the appellate court might have reached a different conclusion therefrom.”'”
1 later decision quote this exact passage““Parties often undertake to conceal usury by writing a contract differing from the real agreement of the parties, but the courts will inquire to ascertain 'the actual agreement, and will declare the agreement usurious if it requires the payment of usurious interest, even if it is given another name in the contract.””
