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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“. * * We think that it is immaterial as to whether or not the findings of fact as made by the trial court are sufficient to support the judgment, provided the judgment is not clearly against the weight of the evidence. The action is one in equity brought to enforce a constructive trust. If it should appear to us upon an examination of the whole testimony in the case that the judgment of the trial court is not clearly against the weight of the evidence, the judgment will be sustained.””
