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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The indebted father has, however, no' right to give away his property to the detriment of ‘his creditors, though it be done for the apparent purpose of equalizing one or more of his children with others, who have been fairly advanced. If he do so, the gift is deemed fraudulent and void as to creditors, without any inquiry as to the actual intent, either of donor or donee. The claim even of a child upon his father, except -for suitable present education and support while dependent upon him, cannot come in competition with that of the father’s creditors.””
