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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

There should be records of the character that would permit the ascertainment of the [debtor’s] financial condition by those who had á right to know what his transactions were and the extent of his financial dealings.”
