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.

“[Fraudulent intent, as a mental element of crime, is often difficult to prove by direct evidence. In many cases it must be inferred from acts of the parties, and inferences may arise from a combination of acts, even though each act or instance, standing by itself may seem unimportant.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“"Appellant erroneously claims the state was required to show that the checks passed were not honored. The crime of forgery is complete when one either makes or passes a false instrument with intent to defraud (citations omitted). It is immaterial to the offense of forgery whether any person has been actually injured. The injury is not whether anyone has been actually injured, but whether anyone might have been prejudiced." State v. Maxwell, 95 Ariz. 396, 399 , 391 P.2d 560, 562 (1964).”
1 later decision quote this exact passage““It is the general rule that unless objection is made to the admission of evidence, it cannot be urged on appeal that it was error for the court to admit it.””
