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 42 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It must be held that the clause in the lease in question' confers upon the lessee more power to make alterations than he would have had if it had not been inserted; it may he supposed to allow acts which, in point of law and technically, are waste, and yet are not accompanied by actual injury to the premises. It plainly gives only a qualified right to make alterations. The lessee’s will is limited by the fact that the alterations are to cause no injury to the premises.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage““There has been no case in which the landlord was required to wait until the end of the lease to see whether the premises might be restñred by the tenant to their original condition. If the waste committed went beyond the license an immediate wrong was done, which was at once the subject of redress in a court either of law or of equity.” 57 N. Y. 612 .”
