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 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[i]n the event of an immediate Chapter 7 liquidation, the Court finds that the secured creditors of the estate might be able to satisfy their claims through foreclosure, but that the forced sale of real property and horses which constitute the bulk of the assets of the estate would probably result in significantly lower values than those values which might be realized over time, especially in view of present economic conditions. The unsecured creditors, therefore, would suffer significant harm.... [T]he proposed Plan of Reorganization [thus] represents the best method for the realization of maximum return to both secured and unsecured creditors of the estate.”
