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.

““ ‘Revisions of statutes do not change the meaning of the statutes revised, unless the intent to change their meaning necessarily and irresistibly follows from the changed language.' City of Milwaukee v. Milwaukee County (1940), 236 Wis. 7, 12 , 294 N. W. 51 ; State ex rel. Harris v. Kindy Optical Co. (1940), 235 Wis. 498 , 292 N. W. 283 . “Certainly, the construction contended for by the appellant does not ‘irresistibly follow from the changed language.’ It would be, indeed, strange that verbal changes in a revisor’s bill could completely reverse the policy and intent of previous legislation. . . .””
