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.
““[W]e think it to be immaterial that the city has not seen fit to open and develop this part of Bray Street. The city cannot divert a dedicated street to an unauthorized use, either public or private, to the special damage of abutting owners. . . . (p. 1142.) If after the appellees have removed the encroachments, [appellant] wishes to improve the street at his own expense, we know of no rule of law to prevent him from doing so, as long as he does not alter the original grade of the street to the detriment of his neighbors.” (p. 1144.)”
