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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"The setting aside of a decree pro confesso on motion or petition before the same becomes absolute should be distinguished from vacating or setting aside the final decree rendered upon the bill so taken as confessed, as provided for in Section 3158 of Rev. Gen. Stats. of 1920, (Now Section 4945, Compiled General Laws of Florida, 1927), although many of the rules applicable to the one are applicable to the other. 21 C. J. 793."”
