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.

“Corporate FDIC is not liable for wrongdoings by Receiver FDIC.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“[T]he collection and foreclosure action was not barred when the FDIC purchased the note[s] at issue on March 31, 1978. If the collection and foreclosure action is viewed as an action for money damages brought under the mortgage contract, the FDIC had at least six years from 1978 to collect and foreclose in the instant case. As the complaint here was filed on [November 4, 1981], there can be no dispute that the FDIC filed this suit within the six year limitation of 28 U.S.C. § 2415 (a).”
