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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is necessary for the chancellor who is administering ’the estate of the debtor, in order to protect' both him and his creditor, to find some equity that should be saved for the debtor, and out of which capital entity, there may be reasonable expectation that the creditors’ three-year wait shall not have been in vain. * * * The debtors here seem to be hopelessly involved. They have struggled along for approximately six years, and are worse off now than they were at the beginning of the struggle. * * * An equity for the debtor is not seen and a deprivation of the creditors’ rights is quite apparent.””
