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.

““ * * * Even conceding that the theory of defendant is plausible, the court by its judgment found against it, and it is a rule of law that when the case is tried to the court without a jury, then if different conclusions can be rationally drawn from the evidence, the case is one for the trial courts’ determination. Bowden v. Wooden, 125 Cal.App. 115 , 13 P.2d 811 ; 5 C.J.S., Appeal and Error, § 1656, p. 682 et seq.; 4 C.J. 879, notes 85 and 86.””
