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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"Wantonness is not merely a higher degree of culpability than negligence. Negligence and wantonness, plainly and simply, are qualitatively different tort concepts of actionable culpability.... ".... "`... Willful and wanton conduct should not be confused with negligence. It has been correctly stated that the two concepts are as "unmixable as oil and water." '"”
1 later decision quote this exact passage““ ‘Negligence is usually characterized as an inattention, thoughtlessness, or heedlessness, a lack of due care; ... “Simple negligence is the inadvertent omission of duty; and wanton or willful misconduct is characterized as such by the state of mind with which the act or omission is done or omitted.” ’ ””
1 later decision quote this exact passage“" ' [t]he purely objective standard of whether the party having the burden of proof has produced proof to create an issue requiring resolution by a jury ,' although when this Court reviews the ruling on such a motion, 'the evidence must be reviewed in the light most favorable to the nonmoving party.' "”
