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.
““It comes, then, to this: If the court is satisfied upon the hearing that the composition offered would be very, considerably less than they might reasonably expect to realize in the administration of the assets in due course, then the composition is not for the hest interest of the creditors. In determining tills question the court will doubtless be influenced by the consideration that a man can ordinarily do better with his own property, and realize more therefrom, than can be obtained in course of judicial proceedings, with compulsory sales and expenses of administration.””
