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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In eases of bankruptcy many incidental questions arise in the course of administering the bankrupt’s estate, which would ordinarily be pure cases at la w, and in respect of their facts triable by jury, but, as belonging to the bankruptcy proceedings, they become eases over which the bankruptcy court, which acts as a court of equity, exercises exclusive control. * * * The bankruptcy court may, and in cases peculiarly requiring such a course will, direct an action or an issue at law to aid it in arriving at a right conclusion. But this rests in its sound discretion.””
