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 56 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In determining the question whether an insolvent corporation or its officers with the intent of giving a preference to a creditor performed any act which enabled him to obtain a judgment, where the evidence is capable of an interpretation in which the absence of a wrongful act is equally consistent with the presence of such act, that meaning must be ascribed thereto which accords with its absence, since a wrongful act can only be established by proof of such, circumstances as are irreconcilable with any other theory than that the act was done.'’”
