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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Under such circumstances it is apparent that the evidence tending to show the debtor insolvent was substantial and adequate if credible and that tending to show the debtor solvent was also substantial and adequate if it was to be believed. The trial judge had to decide this question of credibility, which he resolved in favor of the witnesses called by the appellees; and if he had a reasonable basis for his decision in that respect his order was not clearly erroneous. Epstein v. Goldstein, 2 Cir., 107 F.2d 755 ; Syracuse Engineering Co. v. Haight, 2 Cir., 110 F.2d 468 .”
