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.
“As has been indicated, the creditor here is in a position to file his claim, no assets have been distributed, no question of dividends entered into the matter, and the only assets of the estate shown, viz., the counterclaim should be administered by the creditors as represented by a trustee ... To take away the benefits of the bankruptcy law from a bankrupt who has made a mistake which can be corrected without injury to any of the parties concerned, and thus to compel him to wait six years before he can obtain the very benefits intended to be given by the bankruptcy law, is too harsh a construction to place upon the bankruptcy statute, where the bankrupt has been guilty of no fraud and of no intentional laches.”
