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

1. ““ * * * The present objecting creditor has full standing in law to contest the discharge of this bankrupt, although the ground of objection relates to the false financial statement received by a former creditor and one not a party in the present bankruptcy. Indeed if the policy of the law were otherwise it would invite mischievous consequences. The natural impulse of a hard pressed debtor, knowing he had resorted to false financial statements, would be to leave no stone unturned in trying to pay cf. creditors victimized by such financial statements, as a hedge and in the hopes of forestalling potential opposition to discharge in event of bankruptcy. In other words, there would be a great urge to attempt preferential payments. * * * ””
