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 46 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  1. ““Under the facts averred in this. cause, which are admitted under' demurrer, we must and do hold the business proposed to be established by respondents at this place, in close proximity to the homes of complainants, which is in an exclusive, popular, and long-established residential district, and the manner in which the business is to be maintained and carried on there, will make it a nuisance. It will injure the value of the' property of complainants as homes. It will inconvenience, disturb, and discomfort complainants, or any ordinary, reasonable man, in using and occupying their respective residences as homes. These injuries and .inconveniences will be in their nature continuous or constantly recurring. Hence injunction is a proper remedy for complainants to seek.””
