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 141 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“'[I]t is the duty of this court to give effect to the words used [in a statute], not to delete words used or to insert words not used.'”
5 later decisions quote this exact passage““When this court has been called upon to give effect to an Act of the General Assembly, a standard of judicial restraint has developed when the wording of the enactment is clear and unambiguous. For example, a statute that is free from ambiguity and doubt is not subject to judicial modification under the guise of interpretation. * * * In ascertaining the legislative intent of a statute, Tt is the duty of this court to give effect to the words used [in a statute], not to delete words used or to insert words not used.’ (Emphasis added.) * * * Furthermore, whether an act is wise or unwise is a question for the General Assembly and not this court. * * * ””
