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 62 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The rule has been firmly established . . . that a motion for continuance rests within the sound discretion of the trial court and its ruling will not be disturbed unless the record shows an abuse of discretion .... The motion was denied because the appellant failed to show diligence in attempting to secure the witnesses. . . . He had known for well over a month the need for calling the witnesses but had made no attempt to ascertain their availability prior to trial.”
