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 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Under the bankruptcy act of 1898, the title to property of a bankrupt which is generally exempted by the law of the State in which the bankrupt resides, remains in the bankrupt and does not pass to the trustee, and the bankrupt court has no power to administer such property even if the bankrupt has, under a law of the State, waived his exemption in favor of certain of his creditors. “The fact that the act confers upon the bankruptcy court authority to control exempt property in order to set it aside does not mean that the court can administer and distribute it as an asset of the estate. The two provisions of the statute must be construed together and both be given effect. “The discharge of the bankrupt, howev er, can be withheld until a reasonable time has elapsed to enable creditors to assert in a state court their rights to subject exempt property in satisfaction of their claims under waivers given as security therefor *by the bankrupt.””
