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

“"We do not overlook the possibility of a reversal of a conviction. While circumstances will vary situations, generally a conviction of a felony should justify suspension until the blot is removed. Conviction of a federal felony automatically suspends a lawyer from practicing in the federal courts. In the ordinary case we are not inclined to impose a lesser standard of professional responsibility in our state system." 211 So.2d at 174.”
