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.

1. ““It has often been held by this court that the refusing or granting of a temporary injunction is largely in the discretion of the judge or court, and for that reason close and intricate questions will not be reviewed and the action of the court or judge reversed, unless it shall clearly appear that the judgment or order is erroneous. The reason for this is clear, that while a temporary injunction is granted, yet at the final hearing the court will more closely determine the rights of the parties, and then if it is found that the temporary injunction was improvidently granted, it will be dissolved, or not made perpetual.” (p. 204.)”
