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 36 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Insolvent laws of one stall' cannot discharge the contracts of citizens of other state's, because they have no extraterritorial operation, and, consequently, the tribunal sitting- under them, unless in cases where a citizen of such other state voluntarily becomes a party to the proceedings, has no legal jurisdiction in the case. Legal notice cannot be given, and consequently there can bo no obligation to appear, and of course there can be no legal default,””
