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 24 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The [bankruptcy] court may dismiss a case ... only after notice and a hearing and only for cause, including— (1) unreasonable delay by the debtor that is prejudicial to creditors; (2) nonpayment of any fees and charges required under chapter 123 of title 28; and (3) failure of the debtor in a voluntary case to file, within fifteen days ... the information required by paragraph (1) of section 521, but only on a motion by the United States trustee.”

Geltzer“It may be reasonably inferred from debt- or’s questionable behavior inside of [sic] bankruptcy that such conduct will persist in derogation of the creditor’s rights in the event this court were to order the dismissal of debtor’s petition.”
