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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“it is not necessary to allege that only by discovery can the plaintiff sustain his demand. In such a case, full relief of equity is not asked, but only its aid to make the applicant stronger in a court of law. But where the complainant asks a court of equity for both discovery and relief and his demand is proper for the law court, and he seeks to transfer it to a court of chancery, he must show that only by discovery can he recover.”
