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 32 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It has long been acknowledged that a zoning resolution may legally restrict the right to extend or enlarge a non-conforming use. (Citations omitted.) In fact, non-conforming uses represent conditions which should be reduced to conformity as speedily as is compatible with justice. Also, the stopping of an expansion of a non-conforming use is not an arbitrary or unreasonable exercise of governmental power. Colati v. Jirout, 186 Md. 652 , 47 A.(2d) 613 (1946); 101 C.J.S. Zoning § 79.””
