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 26 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Relief against such a situation calls for the exercise of the-flexible jurisdiction of equity to the end that the wrongdoers shall not profit by their wrongs and that innocent creditors shall not suffer by them. * * * “It is also an established rule that, where two or more persons are associated for the same illegal purpose, all engaged in the alleged fraudulent common purpose are as one who has received the property, and each joint tort-feasor has the burden of bearing the entire loss which he in cooperation with his fellows has inflicted. Bigelow v. Old Dominion Copper Co., 225 U.S. 111, 132 , 32 S.Ct. 641 , 56 L.Ed. 1009 , Ann.Cas.1913E, 875. It follows that remedy may be had against all the tortfeasors, or any one of them, subject to the rule that satisfaction once obtained is a bar to further action. The Beaconsfield, 158 U.S. 303 , 15 S.Ct. 860 , 39 L.Ed. 993 . The extent of the remedy may be for the recovery of all the property or its full value.””
