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 134 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““The words of the act extend the meaning of the word ‘insolvency’ to cases where ‘a debtor, not' having sufficient property to pay all his debts, shall have made a voluntary assignment thereof, for the benefit of his or her creditors.’ The word ‘property’ is unquestionably all the property which the debtor possesses; and the word ‘thereof’ refers to the word ‘property’ as used, and can only be satisfied by an assignment of all the property of the debtor. Had the Legislature contemplated a partial assignment, the words ‘or part thereof,’ or others of similar import, would have been added.””
