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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is his duty to observe and obey the order implicitly as long as it stands unrevoked; if [the party affected] is of opinion, or has been advised by his counsel, that the order was improvidently issued, it is his duty to apply to the court for a modification or construction of its provisions, as it would lead not only to confusion and uncertainty, hut would be destructive of the very purpose of a temporary restraining order if the party against whom the injunction had been issued should be allowed to judge.””
