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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““An application for a discharge may be opposed by any of the ‘parties in interest.’ To entitle a party to oppose a discharge he must have a pecuniary interest in the matter, and that interest must be satisfactorily shown. A person has been held to have an interest sufficient to entitle him to oppose a discharge where his claim was contingent and unliquidated, so as not to be capable of being proved as a debt, or where he held an equitable claim only against the estate, or where his claim was being contested, although his claim has not been proved, or is no longer provable. But where a debt is barred by a lapse of time the creditor has no interest, and therefore cannot oppose the discharge.””
