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

1. ““It is not necessarily impossible iliat the payment may have been at the same time a preference, ami a payment made with intent to binder, delay, and defraud creditors; and, if it is either, it seems to me that the bill may be drawn so as to meet the alternative. There is alleged in these bills one transaction, consisting of a payment of money. The plaintiff alleges that it amounted to either a preference or a fraudulent payment, and that in either case he is entitled to its return. I cannot see in such an allegation any such inherent inconsistency as there is in those cases in which it has been held to be not permissible to unite two absolutely inconsistent causes for equitable relief.””
