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.

1. ““It, in itself, is a residential district in. which homes of considerable value have been constructed. The building restrictions in the deeds have thus far been substantially complied with. The fact that adjoining or surrounding property is now used for business purposes does not alter the character of the subdivision itself and the owners of property therein are entitled to have it preserved for the use for which it must be assumed, they purchased it.””

2. ““It appears that the restrictions imposed have been maintained in this subdivision. That the Maxwell motor car factory, buildings used for business purposes and a public school have been erected abutting on the streets surrounding this subdivision does not nullify the restrictions or render it inequitable to enforce them. The question presented is not whether any person would, under existing conditions, purchase vacant property in the subdivision for residential purposes, but may the plaintiffs enjoy the homes which they have erected relying upon the restrictions, free from the disturbances which the conduct of business therein would necessarily produce?””
