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.
“The comptroller's seizure of a bank, trust company, or building and loan association as an unsound or insolvent public institution, it is true, supersedes the power of the officers, directors, and stockholders thereof to continue to carry on the ordinary business thereof, but its seizure and the appointment of a liquidating agent for it does not amount to a dissolution of the corporation such as will preclude the rendition of a judgment against it. On the contrary, the bank, trust company, or building and loan association so taken in charge by the state through its officers, continues to exist as a legal entity, until the final confirmation of its liquidation in the courts, and may still sue and be sued in its corporate name to finally close up its business, and all claims of creditors against it as a defunct corporation may be proved either before the comptroller or liquidator, or be sued for and regularly established by a suit at law or in equity against the corporation itself.”
