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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The covenant here in question provides that the land owned by Grininger shall be used `for residence purposes only.' By a formal instrument, he has granted, as appurtenant to properties outside block 1, a perpetual right of way for passing to and from the lake over a strip 10 feet in width adjoining plaintiff's property. Such use of the land is not within any definition of a residence purpose; and devoting it to the purpose of a passageway for the occupants of other lands necessarily precludes using it for residence purposes, save perhaps as a means of ingress and egress. We think that the use made of this strip of land is inhibited by the covenant and that the learned trial court reached the correst conclusion.”
