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 29 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“This is not a delegation of power, but merely a statutory method for implementing the legislative determination of a purpose to be fulfilled. It should be apparent' that no act of the legislature can be so detailed as to provide for every possible contingency — something must be left to those who desire to take advantage of the broad general statute, and this is exactly the type of legislation we have here. There is no violation of the constitutional prohibition concerning separation of powers. [Citations omitted.]”
