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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“`the adjudication is to be governed by a given standard of judicial action,' In re Jeffries' Estate, 136 Fla. 410 , 181 So. 833, 838 , and such discretion implies `judgment directed by circumspection,' to be exercised in the light of the facts and circumstances of each particular case. Towle v. State ex rel. Fisher, 3 Fla. 202, 214 ; Dixie Music Co. v. Pike, 135 Fla. 671 , 185 So. 441, 447 .”
