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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““This may be a defense to a criminal charge, where the intent to commit the wrongful acts is a necessary ingredient; but in disciplinary proceedings, dependent upon the nature of the misconduct, the attorney’s conduct may be judged not only by his intent but also by the objective nature of his conduct and the quality of his act. A disciplinary proceeding is not concerned with meting out punishment but with the question of fitness to continue on the role of qualified attorneys. The primary consideration is the protection of the public in its reliance upon the integrity and responsibility of the legal profession. Practitioners, whether incapable or unwilling to distinguish between right and wrong, cannot be allowed to remain members of the Bar.” In re Gould, 4 A.D.2d 174, 176 , 164 N.Y.S.2d 48, 49 (1957).”
