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 87 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[r]ules and regulations are to be sustained unless unreasonable and plainly inconsistent with the act, and they are not to be overruled except for weighty reasons. The burden is upon those challenging the rules to show that they bear no reasonable relationship to the legislative objective. The interpretation and consti'uction of a statute by an agency charged with its administration is entitled to great weight. Administrative rules should be reviewed in light of the evil they seek to cure and are not unreasonable merely because they are burdensome.”
6 later decisions quote this exact passage“so at odds with fundamental principles as to be mere whim or caprice.”
