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

1. ““No creditor . . . other than those who had filed claims within the time fixed by statute had any interest in the matter and, so far as we can see the trustee had no interest; at any rate he made no objection either in the court below or here. We see no reason why a bankrupt may not have an adjudication vacated and petition withdrawn where such action is consented to by all the parties who could possibly have any interest in such proceeding or in the estate of such bankrupt, if such there be. Of course, provision must be made for the payment of costs.” Riordan, supra at 455 .”

2. ““Upon this state of facts we concur with the District Judge in the conclusion that the first duty of the Bankruptcy Court is to administer or dispose of the estate in the interest of the creditors and that where practically all of them assent to dismissal either affirmatively or by failure to oppose * * * it should be dismissed.” Rosenblatt, supra (emphasis added)”
