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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“As has been acknowledged in a multitude of decisions, the appellate court’s review of a “cold record” can never replace the trial judge’s personal observation and evaluation of the live witnesses. The trial judge must combine his legal knowledge and reasoning powers with his inborn instinct for analyzing human nature.”
