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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Courts of equity are not bound by, and act in analogy to, the statutes of limitation relating to actions at law of like character. When a suit is brought within the time'fixed by the analogous statute, the burden is on the defendant to show, either from the .face of the bill or by his answer, that, extraordinary circumstances exist which require the application of the doctrine of laches within that time. AVhen a suit is brought after, the statutory time, the burden is on the complainant to show in his bill, and by his proof that it would be inequitable to apply it to his case.””
