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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“doctrine is well settled that a voluntary conveyance by a person in debt is. not, as to subsequent creditors, fraudulent per se.. To make it fraudulent, as to subsequent creditors, there .must be proof of actual or intentional-fraud. As to creditors existing at the time, if the effect and operation of the conveyance are to hinder or defraud them, it may, as to them, be justly regarded as invalid; but no such reason can be urged in' behalf of those who become creditors afterwards.”
