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.

“(1) A summary judgment proceeding is not to decide an issue of fact, but, rather, to determine whether one exists. (2) Summary judgment can be granted only where the record shows there is no genuine issue as to any material fact. (3) The party opposing the motion for summary judgment must be given the benefit of all reasonable doubts in determining whether an issue of fact exists. (4) Summary judgment can be granted only where the moving party is entitled to the judgment as a matter of law, upon clear and undisputed facts. (5) Summary judgment proceedings must not be used as a substitute for trial.”
