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.
““If one can give a check in payment of a purchase, knowing that he has no money in the bank to meet it and with no present prospect of having- any there, although there be in the back of his mind an intention to pay at some more convenient day, and thereby escape that penalty which the law imposes, the statute is wiped away. If it is to be wiped away, it should be wiped away by the Legislature and not by the courts; and, as we have seen, the Legislature manifests no such purpose.””
