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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The payment of these [illegal] dividends should be avoided and set aside, as to appellee, as a fraud upon his rights. Equity has full power to grant relief. Ignoring the corporate entity, the court below went to the heart of the matter and did justice by granting a decree against the [otherwise not-liable defendant]. . . Preserving the fiction of separate legal entities, it might have accomplished the same thing by setting aside the fraudulent transfer of assets ... As the same result and the right result was reached in the direct method followed by the court below, no one may complain . . .”
