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.
““A "court of equity will not ordinarily decree specific performance when it cannot dispose of the matter in controversy by a decree capable of present performance. It will not as a general rule enjoin a breach of a contract where to render its decree effective it would have to give continuous supervision and direction to the matters involved over a long period of time.””
