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.

“`whether relief shall be granted depends upon an equitable consideration of the particular circumstances of each case.'”
5 later decisions quote this exact passage“"Appellants also contend that the trial court erred in granting damages for fraud for concealment of the outstanding mortgage and, at the same time, granting specific performance of the contractual agreement. Appellants, in their brief, rely on Gulf Oil Corp. v. Spriggs Enterprises, 388 So.2d 518 (Ala.1980), for the proposition that the court may not award damages for the tort of fraud and misrepresentation, and, in addition, grant specific performance of the agreement. While, ordinarily, this is a correct statement of the law, (see, however, Mid-State Homes, Inc. v. Johnson, 294 Ala. 59 , 311 So.2d 312 (1975)), it is inapplicable to the present case.””
