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.

The demand must be made by the institution of the suit which by the decree of the Chancery Court he was authorized to bring to recover the unpaid subscriptions.””
