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 669 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““We are of opinion that Congress, in enacting § 67e, and using the terms ‘to hinder, delay, or defraud creditors,’ intended to adopt them in- their well-known meaning as being aimed at conveyances intended to defraud. In § 60 merely preferential transfers are defined, and the terms on which they may be .set aside are provided; in § 67e, transfers fraudulent under the well-recognized principles of the common law and the statute of Elizabeth are invalidated.””

2. “"There is a clear distinction between ‘controversies arising in bankruptcy proceedings.’ as mentioned in section 24a, and tbe ‘proceedings in bankruptcy,’ which by section 24b the Circuit Courts of Appeals are given jurisdiction to superintend and revise in matter of law; for the former being generally held to embrace questions between ibe trustee, representing the bankrupt and his creditors, on the one side, and adverse claimants, on the other, and not directly affecting those administrative orders and judgments ordinarily known as ‘proceedings in bankruptcy,’ and the latter being confined to those questions arising between the bankrupt and his creditors, which are the very subject of such administrative orders and judgments, from the petition for adjudication to the discharge, and including the intermediate administrative steps and such controversies as arise between parlies to the bankruptcy proceedings as are involved in the allowance of claims, fixing their priorities, sales, allowances, and other matters to be disposed of summarily.””
