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.

““ ‘. . . it serves also to bring to the notice of the trial court errors which may have been committed in the course of the trial, and enables the court to correct such errors without subjecting the parties to the expense and inconvenience of prosecuting review proceedings. . . . 39 Am. Jur., New Trial, p. 42, sec. 17.’ ” Ferry v. State (1954), 266 Wis. 508 , 63 N. W. 2d 741 .”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage““Defendant’s principal attack is made upon the court’s alleged error in permitting the state’s medical experts to testify in a manner so as to invade the province of the jury. The testimony was received without objection; no motion to strike it was made. In fact, some of it was elicited upon cross-examination of the experts by defense counsel. In that situation counsel may not complain. Lyon v. Grand Rapids, 121 Wis. 609 , 99 N. W. 311 ; Wolf v. Evans, 211 Wis. 601 , 247 N. W. 844 .””
