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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ We may go further, and say that if the creditor in a case of this kind has no actual knowledge of the fraud, or notice of the fraudulent design of the debtor to transfer all his property with the direct intention of defrauding his other creditors, yet if the circumstances surrounding his purchase are such as would put a prudent man upon inquiry, which if prosecuted diligently would disclose the fraud, he cannot be deemed a bona fide purchaser in good faith. ‘ Knowledge of facts sufficient to excite the suspicions of a prudent man and put him upon inquiry, is as a general proposition, equivalent to knowledge of the ultimate fact.' ””
