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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The object of the rule of [in] pari mate-ria is to ascertain and carry into effect the intention of the legislature. It proceeds upon the supposition that the several statutes [are] governed by one spirit and policy, and [are] intended to be consistent and harmonious in their several parts and provisions.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“[t]he intent of the statute must be determined from what the legislature said, rather than what this [C]ourt thinks the legislature should have said, and this determination must be confined to the plain, ordinary meaning of the language used by the legislature.”
