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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“It is well settled that a trial judge's finding that "the verdict is contrary to the manifest weight of the evidence" must find a basis in the record to sustain the granting of a new trial. An observation by a trial judge that the verdict is contrary to the manifest weight of the evidence does not make such a finding an absolute fact; it must be found from a basis in the record. An appellate court does not review a trial judge's conscience it reviews the record upon which a trial judge bases his conscience. If the record does not support the finding, it necessarily follows that an abuse of discretion is indicated on the part of the trial judge. McAllister Hotel, Inc. v. Porte, 123 So.2d 339 (Fla. 1960); Cobb v. Brew, 155 So.2d 814 (Fla.App. 1st, 1963); Mansell v. Eidge, 179 So.2d 624 (Fla. App.3d 1965); and Florida Power Corporation v. Smith, 202 So.2d 872 (Fla.
