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 30 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“I do not rely on the oft-stated proposition that a bankruptcy court is a court of equity, coupled with the proposition that right to jury trial which might otherwise exist are lost with respect to estates in the custody of equity courts. I do not rely, either, on the proposition that the seventh amendment’s guaranty of jury trial does not apply to the resolution of the bankruptcy courts of questions incidental to the administration of the estate. Nor do I rely on the bankruptcy court’s summary jurisdiction to allow and disallow claims', nor upon any doctrine of waiver of a constitutional or statutory right to jury trial ... I rely, rather, on the proposition that there is no right to jury trial on the issue of dischargeability, regardless of how, or in what tribunal, the issue arises.”
