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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Where a judgment has not been paid, or has not been superseded on appeal by a bond ... surely the judgment debtor cannot avoid the effect of levy and execution. And here the effect of the appeal ... did not itself operate to stay execution or to stay proceedings or to make the judgment any the less an obligation absolutely owing by the bankrupt. ... If the debt was then a fixed liability in the form of a judgment the right to file the claim existed.”
