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 23 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“This court cannot substitute its conclusions regarding the facts for those of the trial court when the findings are amply sustained by the proofs. Even if we were of the opinion that the trial court should have resolved the factual disputes differently, this court could not supplant the trial court’s findings since there was substantial evidence to justify its determination. Thorndike v. Hesperian Orchards, Inc., 54 Wn.2d 570 , 343 P.2d 183 (1959); Bennett Veneer Factors, Inc. v. Brewer, 73 Wn.2d 849 , 441 P.2d 128 (1968).”
