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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“fCIt is a well-recognized principle that every state possesses exclusive jurisdiction and sovereignty over persons and property within its territory, and it may make laws to subject property situated within its limits, owned by non-residents, to the payment of claims due to its own citizens from them. Such legislation is based upon the necessity of the case, and the injustice which would result from permitting non-resident debtors to withdraw their property or assets from the jurisdiction of the state, and is a legitimate exercise of its authority to hold and appropriate the property of such debtors to satisfy the claims of its own citizens.””
