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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The sole question in an action seeking injunctive relief to abate a nuisance is whether or not the use made of property by the one complained against is reasonable under the circumstances. This question includes also a determination of whether the annoyance and disturbance complained of have resulted in injury to a legal right of the person complaining. Mere disturbances and annoyance as such do not in themselves necessarily give rise to an invasion of a legal right.” (at p. 352)”

His legal as well as factual conclusions come to this court with a presumption of correctness and where, as here, his decree is supported by substantial evidence, it is the duty of the appellate court to affirm such decree.” (at p. 352)”
