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 23 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““But, while the plaintiffs thus allege that it was their ‘expectation and understanding’ that the amount thus placed by them to the credit of the bank would be returned to them, they cannot and do not deny that the thing required by the state bank examiner to be done, and which they proposed doing by the said deposit of their money, was to increase the assets of the bank by that much, without increasing its liabilities in the slightest degree, in any way, shape, or form. * * * The contribution, coupled with a condition of any kind, would not have answered the purpose.””
