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 137 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Briefly stated, a party seeking a stay must show (1) that he will likely prevail on the merits of the appeal, (2) that he will suffer irreparable injury if the stay is denied, (3) that other parties will not be substantially harmed by the stay, and (4) that the public interest will be served by granting the stay.”
12 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“[T]he principal irreparable injury which defendants claim they will suffer if the order is not stayed is injury of their own making. The defendant ... has postponed the moment of truth as long as possible, but the moment of truth is now at hand. It would seem elementary that a party cannot claim equity in his own defaults.”
5 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“I do not minimize the cost, the inconvenience or the burdens which will be placed upon the defendants should they begin compliance with the order. However, “[mjere injuries, however substantial, in terms of money, time and energy necessarily expended in the absence of a stay, are not enough.” Virginia Petroleum Jobbers Association v. Federal Power Commission [ 104 U.S.App.D.C. 106 at 110], 259 F.2d [921] at 925.”
