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 54 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"Mandatory injunctions are looked upon with disfavor, and the courts seem even more reluctant to issue them than prohibitory ones. Allen v. Stowell, 145 Cal. 666 , 79 P. 371 , 68 L.R.A. 223 , 104 Am.St.Rep. 80 . One court has announced that relief of this kind `for the most obvious reasons should be granted only in situations which so clearly call for it as to make its refusal work real and serious hardship and injustice.' Lyons v. Walsh, 92 Conn. 18 , 101 A. 488, 490 , L.R.A.1917F, 680."”
