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 173 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ * * * more than a scintilla and is such proof as a reasonable mind would employ to support the conclusion reached. Henzel v. Cameron, 228 Or. 452 , 365 P.2d 498, 503 . It is of a character which would convince an unprejudiced thinking mind of the truth of the fact to which the evidence is directed. Grange v. Finlay, 58 Wash.2d 528 , 364 P.2d 234, 235 . If reasonable men may fairly differ as to whether certain evidence establishes a fact in issue then such evidence must be considered as substantial. Smith v. Schumacker, 30 Cal.App.2d 251 , 85 P.2d 967, 972 ; Davis v. Hartley, 69 N.M. 91 , 364 P.2d 349, 351 .” State v. Bearden, 99 Ariz. 1 at 4 , 405 P.2d 885 at 886 (1965).”
