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 32 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ * * * We agree with appellant that the trial court erred in setting aside the findings of the master and deciding the case merely upon the weight of the evidence. ****** “ * * * the trial court may set aside findings when clearly erroneous, yet in considering the question the word 'clearly’ must not be overlooked, and findings will not be set aside merely because the record tends to show that they are not supported by the weight of the evidence. It is only where there is a total lack of substantial evidence to support the findings that the court is warranted in rejecting the report of the referee.””
