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.
““A fair construction of the above language indicates that it was the intention to allow voluntary bankrupts to file their petition without the payment in advance of the fees therefor only in case they did not have, and could not obtain, the money with which to pay such fees. In other words, if the bankrupt was absolutely without money or effects of any kind, but was able to borrow from his friends money with which to pay the court costs, he could not properly make the affidavit required in this case, and it would be his duty to pay the fees.””
