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

1. “This contention cannot prevail. Appellant is not the United States. The United States is not a party to this proceeding. The bankrupt was never indebted to the United States. Its indebtedness was to the bank. The United States has no claim against the bankrupt estate, *Page 220 and has asserted none. If the United States had any such claim, it could, and undoubtedly would, assert it in its own name. There is no reason why, in a bankruptcy court or elsewhere, the United States should call itself `Federal Housing Administrator.'”

2. ““Appellant (F. H. Adm’r) was never a creditor of the bankrupt and has no claim against the bankrupt estate except that which the bank assigned to • him after the adjudication in bankruptcy. With respect to that claim, appellant has, of course, only such rights as his assignor had. * * * appellant’s assignor had no right of priority.””
