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 19 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The lower court had ruled in effect that the language of Section 5792 C.G.L., 1927, now Section 222.11 F.S.A., was clear and unambiguous and made no distinction between “money or other thing” due for manual labor and “money or other thing” due for personal services which did not involve manual labor. The members of this Court who shared his view observed that the Court must accept the law as it is written and had no right by judicial fiat to add any qualifying words to it.”
