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 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“.... The public policy of a state is to be found: first, in the Constitution; second, in the Acts of the Legislature; and third, in its Judicial Decisions. [Citations omitted.] Where the Constitution is silent, the public policy of the State is to be determined by the Legislature on subjects which it has seen fit to speak. [Citations omitted.] It is only where the Constitution and the Statutes are silent on the subject that the Courts have an independent right to declare the public policy. [Citations omitted.]”
