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 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“the only difference between a secured and an unsecured creditor is that relating to the fund or assets to which they are respectively entitled to resort for payment, the former being entitled to resort to a particular fund or portion of the assets, and to be paid in full if the proceeds of such fund or particular property is sufficient for that purpose, to the exclusion of all others, while the unsecured creditor can look only to the general assets, and must share the same equally with the other unsecured creditors.”
