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

1. ““Section <i of the Bankruptcy Act takes care of the bankrupt in certain respects while he lives. Section 8 continues the machinery of the court after his death or insanity, but. proceeds with caution to offer to the widow and children of the bankrupt, who shall die or become insane after the proceedings have been instituted, the fostering care of the federal tribunal just as far as the local tribunal had been authorized to go by its creator, the local I'-iegislature, and no further. If the proceedings were abated by the death or insanity of the bankrupt, it is clear that the probate court would have had ample authority to make the allowance. But the Congress says that they shall not abate, and in the same breath says that ‘the widow and children shall be entitled to all rights of dower and allowance fixed by the law of the state.’””
