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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“When the petition for discharge came up for hearing, it was not opposed .... The discharge was granted, and now, eleven months thereafter, it is sought to set aside the discharge, on the allegation that this mortgage was given without consideration and as a means for covering up the property of the debtor. No showing of facts is made explaining why the validity of this mortgage was not inquired into during the pendency of the proceedings. The evil that may result from allowing attacks upon the validity of a discharge months after it has been granted is apparent. The bankrupt, having received his discharge, will ordinarily engage in new business enterprises, and may become indebted to many persons, who, in good faith, extend credit to him in the belief that the discharge granted bars the pre-existing indebtedness, and their rights will be seriously affected if the discharge is revoked and held for naught.”
