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

1. “■ “The holder of each share of common stock of this corporation shall be individually and severally liable for such stockholders’ ratable and proportionate part (determined on the basis of their respective stock holdings of the total issued and outstanding stock of this corporation) for any statutory liability imposed 'upon this corporation by reason of its ownership of shares of the capital stock of any bank or trust company, and the stockholders of this company, by the acceptance of their certificates of stock in this company, severally agree, that such liability may be enforced in the same manner and to the same extent as statutory liability may now or hereafter be enforceable against stockholders of banks or trust companies under the laws under which said banks or trust companies are organized to operate. A list of the stockholders of this company shall be filed with the banking commissioner and the Comptroller of the Currency whenever requested by either of those officers.””
