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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

In other words, he went there looking for trouble and found it. The trial judge was, therefore, justified both in law and fact in mitigating damages." (306 So.2d at 913Emphasis supplied)”
