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 25 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“* * * In considering the legislative intendment, the statutory words are to be given their common usage. Ford Motor Co. v. N.J. Dept. of Labor and Industry, 5 N.J. 494, 503 (1950). And, if the legislative intendment is clear and unambiguous, the court will not `* * * indulge in a presumption, arising from extrinsic evidence, that the Legislature intended something other than what it actually expressed.' Bass v. Allen Home Improvement Co., 8 N.J. 219 (1951). `A construction that will render any part of a statute inoperative, superfluous or meaningless, is to be avoided. 2 Sutherland Statutory Construction (3 d ed. ), sec. 4705, p. 339.' Hoffman v. Hock, 8 N.J. 397, 406, 407 (1952). In the construction of a statute, it must be so construed as a whole with reference to the system of which it is a part. Conflicting provisions ought to be reconciled in accord with the general intent. Maritime Petroleum Corp. v. Jersey City, 1 N.J. 287, 298 (1949).”
