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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"It is true that when a note is surrendered at maturity, and a new note taken merely as a renewal, the debt is not paid, nevertheless the old note and the renewal are two different pieces of property because they represent two different contracts. One represents a contract with the valuable quality of the right of immediate enforcementthe other represents a contract without that right. Regarding the new note as a renewal, and not payment of the debt, when by the false statement Samet obtained from the bank the note immediately enforceable against him, he `obtained property'; when he obtained it on promise to pay in the future, he `obtained property on credit'; and when he did this on the strength of a `materially false statement in writing,' he forfeited under section 14b(3) his right to a discharge." (Emphasis ours.) See, Annotation, 78 L.Ed. 179 ; In re Waite, D.C., 223 F. 853 ; Morton v. Snider, 8 Cir., 20 F.2d 469 .”
