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 35 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ The right of injunction, it will be borne in mind, is not against the whole judgment because of any error in its rendition, but only against so much of it (».- e. that part of the amount of which) as he shall show himself equitably not bound to pay. In short, the right to enjoin is because that which is claimed to be owed is in equity not owed, and not because of the form it has been made to assume.” '”
