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.

“[p]rospective defendants cannot, by bringing ancillary equitable proceedings, circumvent federal criminal procedure.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“All that we need to say is that appellant is not entitled to an injunction because he has an adequate remedy at law. It is settled law that ‘courts of equity should not act ... when the moving party has an adequate remedy at law and will not suffer irreparable injury if denied equitable relief.’ ... Equity always has been hesitant to act if its remedy would disrupt an ongoing grand jury investigation____ In the present case, appellant has an adequate legal remedy in the form of a motion to dismiss his indictment, if one is handed down.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the concurrence“[a]lthough it is surely true that an innocent person may suffer great harm to his reputation and property by being erroneously accused of a crime, all citizens must submit to a criminal prosecution brought in good faith so that larger societal interests may be preserved.”
