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.

“Penal and criminal statutes, such as the one before us “are generally ‘construed strictly as to those portions which are against defendants, but liberally construed in those which are in their favor— that is, for their ease and exemption. No person is to be made subject to such statutes by implication, and, when doubts arise concerning their interpretation, such doubts are to weigh only in favor of the accused.’ ” State v. Taylor, 345 Mo. 325 , 133 S.W.2d 336, 341 .”
