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

Sowers is insolvent and that within four months next preceding the date of this petition the said Sowers committed an act of bankruptcy in that he did heretofore in the month of September, 1904, transfer his property to Richardson-Roberts Dry Goods Company with the intent to prefer Richardson-Roberts Dry Goods Company over such other creditors and at the time of such transfer said Sowers was insolvent.””
