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.

“[T]he implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing is designed to protect the contracting parties' reasonable expectations.”
8 later decisions quote this exact passage“If the record reflects even the possibility of a material issue of fact, or if different inferences can be drawn reasonably from the facts, that doubt must be resolved against the moving party and summary judgment must be denied.”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage“[W]hen the language of a contract does not deal in express terms with all aspects of the rights and duties of the parties to the agreement, the language used `should be interpreted as reasonable persons, knowledgable about the business or industry, would likely interpret them- not some strained interpretation put forth by the drafter.'”
