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.
““ ‘One can not obtain relief in equity against the violation of a restrictive agreement entered into in pursuance of a general plan if he, himself, is guilty of a substantial breach of the same restriction. Nor will the violation of a restriction be enjoined where it has been disregarded by the property owner seeking the injunction as well as by other property owners generally, even though their infringements of the restriction have not been to the extent of the one against which injunction is sought.’ ””
