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.

“"Motions for directed verdict, judgment in accord with directed verdict, and judgments n.o.v. all share the following rules as to their application by the trial court: they should be cautiously granted, and only when the court, after viewing the evidence and testimony in a light most favorable to the non-moving party, concludes that the jury could not reasonably differ as to the existence of a material fact or material inference, and that the movant is entitled to the judgment as a matter of law. Chowning v. Pierce, Fla.App. 1965, 174 So.2d 42 ; Deese v. White Belt Dairy Farms, Inc., Fla. App. 1964, 160 So.2d 543 ."”
