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 19 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“It was long ago settled that state laws to the extent that they conflict with the laws of Congress on the subject of bankruptcies are suspended. While this is true, state laws are thus suspended only to the extent of actual conflict with the system provided by Congress. See Sturges v. Crowninshield, 4 Wheat. 122 , 4 L.Ed. 529 (1819); Ogden v. Saunders, 12 Wheat. 213 , 6 L.Ed. 606 (1827).”
