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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In cases of equitable cognizance, an appellate court is not bound by the trial court's reasoning or by its findings. The appellate court will examine the whole record, consider and weigh the evidence, and if the law and facts warrant, the court will affirm the judgment if the trial court reached the correct ultimate conclusion.”
