Most-quoted passages

These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 141 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The conclusion is that, while the Clear-water bank individually owed the receiver of the St. Petersburg bank, the latter did not owe the former, but at best the claim was made as an agent. If this be true, set-off may not be allowed, for a defendant sued upon his individual debt may not avail himself for this purpose of a demand against the plaintiff held in a fiduciary capacity. [Authorities cited].” 290 U.S. 143 , at page 146, 54 S.Ct. 113 , 114, 78 L.Ed. 229 , 90 A.L.R. 999 .”
