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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ So far as the plaintiffs right to equitable relief is based upon the alleged invalidity of the acts of the board of supervisors in laying out the road in question, the complaint is manifestly feto de se. If, as contended, those acts are absolutely null and void on their face, upon the ground that the act 'under which they were had is unconstitutional, it follows that they cannot hurt the plaintiff, for they have not even the appearance of legality, and therefore cannot affect or cloud in any manner his title. In such a case he has no need for an injunction, and therefore is not entitled to one.””
