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.

“We agree with Simon's contention that the findings required by the habitual felony offender statute, section 775.084(1)(a)3, 4, Florida Statutes (1989), were not met. A trial court must specifically make the findings required by section 775.084(1)(a) before sentencing a defendant as a habitual felony offender.”
