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 25 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“It may suffice to say that nothing but a ruling from a higher court would convince me that congress, by any provision of the bankrupt [sic] act, intended to permit the discharge, under its operations, of any judgment rendered by a state or federal court imposing a fine in the enforcement of criminal laws, as such, of either jurisdiction.... The provisions of the bankrupt [sic] act have reference alone to civil liabilities, as demands between debt- or and creditor, as such, and not to punishments inflicted pro bono publico for crimes committed.... Any other construction would seem to be improper, and might trench, as already indicated, upon the exclusive constitutional right of the chief magistrate, state or national, to remit fines and grant pardons.”
