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 65 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[i]t is elementary that in all interpretations of statutes, the courts shall look diligently for the intention of the General Assembly.

In fact, where the language of a statute is plain and unambiguous, judicial construction is not only unnecessary but forbidden.”
