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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“It is clear that the provision in the federal act which requires at least sixty days' written notice as a condition precedent to maintenance of eviction proceedings against a tenant for the purpose of owner occupancy, does not conflict with the [Wisconsin provision], which further restricts the maintenance of eviction proceedings in such instances after the expiration of six months' written notice. There is nothing in the federal act which would prevent a court in which an eviction action was instituted from requiring a notice of six months or even longer. Congress intended such a result when it used the language of 'at least sixty days.' There is no repugnance or conflict so direct and positive that the two acts cannot be reconciled or stand together.”
