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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““As condition precedent to right of farmer-debtor to avail himself of mortgage moratorium provided by Bankruptcy Act, farmer must first have submitted to his creditors a proposal which in good faith contains an equitable and feasible method of liquidation for creditors and is for their best interests as well as his own.” “ ‘Good faith,’ as used in provision of Bankruptcy Act requiring farmer-debtor, as condition to right to avail himself of mortgage moratorium provided by act, to first submit in good faith to his creditors a composition proposal, implies more than absence of actual fraud, and more than a futile gesture or mere formality, and requires a reasonable probability of an ultimate debt satisfaction within moratorium period.””
