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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"A provision in a lease authorizing use for a certain purpose is generally regarded as permissive, instead of restrictive, and does not limit or impliedly forbid their use for similar or related purposes, so long as there does not result an injury of the landlord's rights, or are not expressly forbidden, or violate some statute or ordinance which would subject the lessor to liability. 32 Am.Jur. p. 191. Where words used in a lease are descriptive of the character of the premises, although indicating a particular use, the weight of authority is to the effect that such words do not constitute a restriction on the lessee in the use the words may indicate."”
