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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Neither can it be said that there is no equity in the bill. Equity discountenances! a multiplicity of suits. That is one of the grounds of its jurisdiction. And it aims, by restraining a multiplicity of suits, to give to the owner of the property the beneficial enjoyment of it, ami to enable him to get the benefit of its ownership, rather than waste it in many and diverse suils. * « * In all equity cases we ought to go to the substance of tilings as far as possible.””
