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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “[f]irst : [t]he fact that there is imminent danger that unless a receiver is appointed the property or its proceeds will be deteriorated in value or wasted during the pendency of the suit; [s]econd : [t]he fact that the plaintiff will suffer irreparable loss . . . . But if the defendant is solvent and abundantly able to respond to any such loss, or if he will give good bond so to respond, the loss can rarely be irreparable . . . . [; and, t]hird : [t]he fact that on the pleadings and preliminary proofs there is a strong probability that the plaintiff will ultimately prevail on the merits.”
