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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The federal courts will not interfere with the administration of affairs lawfully in the custody and jurisdiction of a. state court, nor will they permit the courts of the states to interfere concerning litigation rightfully submitted to the decision of the courts of the United States. “The bankrupt act of 1898 does not in the least modify this rule, but with unusual carefulness guards it in all of its detail, provided the suit pending in the state court was instituted more than four months before the District ■Court of the United States had adjudicated the bankruptcy of the party entitled to; or interested in, the subject-matter of the controversy.’’”
