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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is equally clear that the design of the act is now, as ever, to protect the borrowers. All the reasons for allowing this action still subsist. On common-law principles the remedy still remains, unless taken away by the second section of the act. (Wheaton v. Hibbard, 20 Johns. 290 .) It does not do this by express words. Nor is there any implication that the action is by legislative intent abolished.” (p. 27.)”
