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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Congress having given an arbitrary meaning to» the word ‘banker' as used in this act, it follows in strict logical sequence that they have extended the same meaning to the terms ‘business of banking.’ The act would be no more explicit if it had said that any person or company having a place of business where money is advanced or loaned on stocks or bonds, shall be deemed and regarded under this act to be engaged in the banking business.””
