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.

““[c]ounsel need not raise and address each and every possible argument on appeal to ensure effective assistance of counsel. Indeed, the process of ‘winnowing out weaker arguments on appeal and focusing on those more likely to prevail, far from being evidence of incompetence, is the hallmark of effective appellate advocacy.’ Smith v. Murray, 477 U.S. 527, 536 , 106 S.Ct. 2661, 2667 , 91 L.Ed.2d 434 (1986). See also, Johnson v. State, 612 So.2d 1288, 1303 (Ala.Crim.App.1992).””
