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.
““The appellants were not entitled to a mandatory injunction, requiring appellees to vacate premises of which peaceable possession is held by them. In such cases the available remedies provided by law must be followed, because equity will not lend its aid, by means of a temporary [mandatory] injunction, granting the relief prayed for, to obtain the possession of the property, the effect of which would be virtually to decide the entire’case.” Butler v. Borroum (Tex. Civ. App.) 218 S. W. 1115 .”
