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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is entirely possible that the time may come when the maintenance of these conditions will be of no benefit to defendant or her grantees. (The defendant was the grantor.) In such case complainant and his grantees would no longer be compelled to maintain them. That is a question for future consideration. Courts will not compel the observance of restrictions and conditions when they have ceased to be of any benefit.””
