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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““A voluntary conveyance, or a conveyance made with the intent to hinder, delay and defraud creditors, can be avoided only by creditors and purchasers. As between the parties, their personal representatives and heirs, such conveyances are valid. An executor or administrator is the representative of the testator or intestate, succeeding to his rights, and of consequence capable of maintaining only such suits as he could maintain. ... A voluntary conveyance, or a conveyance made with the intent denounced by the statute of frauds, binding the intestate is equally obligatory on his personal representative.””
