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.
““ ‘The bankrupt stood by and failed to prosecute his case, was cited to appear in court, paid no attention to same, and permitted his case to be dismissed for the nonpayment of costs. This is against the policy, equity and spirit of the bankruptcy law. “(sic) Bankruptcy is a special dispensation and gives freedom from debts when properly applied for and pursued under the proper rules and law, and when one comes into court asking this favor he should obey all rules, orders, and where one stands by and fails to pay costs, after being cited, as was done in this cause and allows his cause to be dismissed, he is bound by same and the rule of res ad judicata as to the former case applies and may be invoked by any creditor scheduled under the former petition when same is rescheduled under a later petition. “ ‘If this rule were not adopted and enforced, bankrupts would abuse this court and allow their petitions to elapse for non-payment of costs and refile same, and make this court a perpetual paymaster, which is in conflict with all good conscience, equity and the bankruptcy law.’ ” (At page 621)”
