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.

“"are cloaked with the presumption that their actions are lawful, correct and in good faith and sincerity of purpose in the exercise of their duties. Rockefeller v. Hogue, 244 Ark. 1029 , 429 S.W.2d 85 (1968). Appellees have not overcome this presumption by showing that Senator Fletcher did not actually have legitimate reimbursable expenses in excess of the amount claimed." Jones v. Mears, 256 Ark. 825 , 510 S.W.2d 857, 860 (1974).”
