I am not blind to the faults of

580

I am not bold enough to

581

I am not capable of unraveling it

582

I am not catching at sharp arguments

583

I am not concerned to argue

584

I am not defending myself

585

I am not dreaming of denying

586

I am not going into sordid details

587

I am not going into vexed questions

588

I am not going to let you evade the question

589

I am not going to pay you any idle compliments

590

I am not going to reproach

591

I am not here to defend

592

I am not impervious to the obligations involved

593

I am not in sympathy with it

594

I am not in the least surprised

595

I am not inquisitive

596

I am not insensible

597

I am not of those who pretend

598

I am not prepared to dispute the word

599

I am not prepared to say

600

I am not presumptuous to assert

601

I am not proposing to set forth

602

I am not ripe to pass sentence

603

I am not so unreasonable as to tell you

604

I am not sure that I can manage it

605

I am not surprised

606

I am not taking into account

607

I am not unaware

608

I am not undertaking to deliver

609

I am not vindictive

610

I am not without a lurking suspicion

611

I am now going to attempt

612

I am obliged to add

613

I am obliged to go still further

614

I am often reminded

615

I am old enough to remember

616

I am one of those who believe

617

I am only too sensible of the fact

618

I am overjoyed to hear you say so

619

I am perfectly aware of what I am saying

620

I am perfectly willing to admit

621

I am persuaded

622

I am persuaded by your candor

623

I am prepared to back that opinion by

624

I am privileged to speak to

625

I am quite conscious that

626

I am quite convinced of that

627

I am quite discomfited

628

I am quite interested to see what you will do

629

I am quite ready to be convinced

630

I am rather disposed to think

631

I am rather of the opinion that I was mistaken

632

I am ready to do battle

633

I am ready to make great allowances

634

I am really afraid I don't know

635

I am really gregarious

636

I am reassured by the presence here

637

I am reluctantly but forcibly reminded

638

I am resolved not to permit

639

I am sensible of the flattery

640

I am sensible, sir

641

I am seriously annoyed with myself about it

642

I am simply endeavoring to show

643

I am so glad you think that

644

I am so sorry--so very sorry

645

I am so surrounded on every hand

646

I am sometimes inclined to think

647

I am somewhat relieved to know

648

I am sorry to disillusionize you

649

I am sorry to interrupt this interesting discussion

650

I am sorry to say

651

I am sorry to say it is impossible

652

I am speaking plainly

653

I am still a little of an idealist

654

I am still holding this offer open to you

655

I am suggesting the reason why

656

I am suppressing many of the details

657

I am sure every impartial man will agree

658

I am sure I feel no hostility

659

I am sure it sounds very strange to you

660

I am sure that I echo the sentiment

661

I am sure this generous audience will pardon me

662

I am sure you all hope

663

I am sure you could pay me no higher compliment

664

I am sure you feel the truth

665

I am sure you will acquit me

666

I am sure you will be kind enough

667

I am sure you will do me the justice

668

I am sure you will not be surprised

669

I am sure, at any rate

670

I am surely not here to assert

671

I am surprised, I confess

672

I am sustained by the prospect of a good dinner

673

I am tempted further to offer to you

674

I am thankful for the privilege

675

I am thoroughly convinced

676

I am to speak to you this evening

677

I am to urge the interest of

678

I am told occasionally

679

I am told on authority

680

I am too well aware of the difficulties

681

I am totally at a loss to conceive

682

I am trespassing too long on your time

683

I am unable to understand

684

I am unconscious of intentional error

685

I am under a very great obligation

686

I am under the deepest feeling of gratitude

687

I am under the impression

688

I am unwillingly bound to add

689

I am uttering no paradox when I say

690

I am vastly obliged to you

691

I am vastly your debtor for the information

692

I am very far from being a fanatic

693

I am very far from thinking.

694

I am very glad of this opportunity

695

I am very glad to have the honor

696

I am very grateful--very much flattered

697

I am very happy to be here

698

I am very much in the condition of

699

I am very sure that if you ponder

700

I am very sure you will believe

701

I am well aware

702

I am wholly in agreement with you

703

I am willing to accept all the consequences

704

I am willing to know

705

I am wonderfully well

706

I am wondering if I may dare ask you a very personal question?

707

I am your creditor unawares

708

I am, gentlemen, yours faithfully

709

I am, I confess, a little discouraged

710

I am, indeed, most solicitous

711

I am, my dear sir, yours faithfully

712

I amsure you will hear me out

713

I anticipate with pleasing expectation

714

I anticipate your argument

715

I appeal in the first place

716

I appeal to any man to say

717

I appeal to the better judgment

718

I appreciate the significance

719

I appreciate your motives

720

I argue this cause

721

I ask again

722

I ask no greater blessing

723

I ask permission to speak to you

724

I ask that you be good enough

725

I ask the attention

726

I ask the audience

727

I ask the audience to return with me

728

I ask this of you

729

I ask you calmly and dispassionately

730

I ask you gentlemen, do you think

731

I ask you if it is possible

732

I ask you in all candor

733

I ask you now to follow me

734

I ask you to consider

735

I ask you to join me in drinking a toast

736

I ask you to pledge with me

737

I ask you, if you please, to rise and give the toast

738

I ask your attention

739

I ask your indulgence

740

I assert, sir, that it is

741

I assure myself

742

I assure you it is most painful to me

743

I assure you my knowledge of it is limited

744

I assure you, of my own personal knowledge

745

I attribute it to

746

I avail myself of the opportunity

747

I bear no malice about that

748

I beg again to thank you for the honor

749

I beg all to remember

750

I beg and implore of you

751

I beg emphatically to say

752

I beg leave to make some observations

753

I beg of you to remember

754

I beg to request that you give me some information

755

I beg to tender my most fervent wishes

756

I beg you not to mistake my meaning

757

I beg you to accept my grateful expression

758

I beg your indulgence

759

I beg your pardon, but you take it too seriously

760

I begin by observing

761

I begin with expressing a sentiment

762

I believe from my own personal experience

763

I believe I can speak for all

764

I believe I shall make it clear to you

765

I believe I understand perfectly just how you feel about

766

I believe I voice the sentiment

767

I believe it to be the simple truth

768

I believe most profoundly

769

I believe that I am within the mark

770

I believe that in this instance

771

I bemoaned my unlucky fate

772

I bid you a most cordial and hearty welcome

773

I bow with you in reverent commemoration

774

I brazenly confess it

775

I call hardly conceive

776

I call never sufficiently express my gratitude

777

I call on you to answer

778

I call to mind how

779

I can by no calculation justify

780

I can easily understand your astonishment

781

I can explain the apparent contradiction

782

I can find no satisfaction in it

783

I can hardly agree with you there

784

I can make allowance for

785

I can most truthfully assure you

786

I can never be sufficiently grateful

787

I can not allow myself to believe

788

I can not avoid confessing

789

I can not be content with

790

I can not believe, I will not believe

791

I can not better illustrate this argument

792

I can not better sum up

793

I can not boast of

794

I can not bound my vision

795

I can not but reflect

796

I can not but see what mischief

797

I can not charge myself with

798

I can not close without giving expression

799

I can not conceive a greater honor

800

I can not feel any doubt myself

801

I can not forbear from offering

802

I can not give you a better illustration

803

I can not help expressing a wish

804

I can not help speaking urgently

805

I can not here go into details

806

I can not hesitate to say

807

I can not hope adequately to respond

808

I can not justly be responsible because

809

I can not let this opportunity pass

810

I can not persuade myself

811

I can not prevail on myself

812

I can not refrain from saying for myself

813

I can not resist the train of thought

814

I can not say how glad I am

815

I can not say with confidence

816

I can not stop to give in detail

817

I can not sufficiently thank you

818

I can not take back my word

819

I can not take it for granted

820

I can not thank you enough

821

I can not well avoid saying

822

I can only congratulate you

823

I can only hope for indulgence

824

I can only tell you the bare facts

825

I can readily understand

826

I can scarcely accept the offer

827

I can scarcely boast that honor

828

I can scarcely concede anything more important

829

I can scarcely find fitting words

830

I can scarcely imagine anything more disagreeable

831

I can strongly recommend

832

I can sympathize with you

833

I can understand, moreover

834

I can with propriety speak here

835

I can't pretend to make a jest of what I'm going to say

836

I cannot altogether acquit myself of interested motives

837

I cannot explain it even to myself

838

I cannot find much real satisfaction in it

839

I cannot forbear to press my advantage

840

I cannot imagine what you mean

841

I cannot precisely determine

842

I cannot say definitely at the moment

843

I cannot say that in fact it is always so

844

I cannot see how you draw that conclusion

845

I cannot thank you enough for all your consideration

846

I capitulated by inadvertence

847

I certainly have not so good an opinion

848

I challenge any man

849

I cheerfully own

850

I cheerfully submit myself

851

I claim a share also for

852

I class them altogether under the head

853

I close with the words

854

I close with this sentiment

855

I come at length to

856

I come next to the question of

857

I come to the other assumption

858

I compliment you on your good sense

859

I conceive this to be

860

I confess I feel not the least alarmed

861

I confess I have had my doubts

862

I confess I have little sympathy

863

I confess it affects me very deeply to

864

I confess it is very difficult to

865

I confess that I do not entirely approve

866

I confess that it is a comfort to me

867

I confess that my notions are widely different

868

I confess to a little embarrassment

869

I confess to you that I have no fear

870

I confess, I find it difficult

871

I confine myself to saying

872

I congratulate you upon the auspicious character

873

I consider I have said enough in proof

874

I consider it amply explains

875

I contend

876

I content myself with pursuing

877

I could almost allege it as a supreme example

878

I could ask for nothing better

879

I could do no less than

880

I could easily mention

881

I could enlarge upon it

882

I could never forgive myself for that

883

I could never understand

884

I could wish that this belief

885

I cut my reflections adrift

886

I dare say you know

887

I dare say your intuition is quite right

888

I dare venture the remark

889

I declare to you

890

I decline to commit myself beforehand

891

I deem it both necessary and just

892

I deem it proper here to remind

893

I deem myself honored

894

I deny the inference

895

I deny, once and for all

896

I desire to be brief

897

I desire to bear my testimony

898

I desire to call attention

899

I desire to know

900

I desire to lay emphatic stress

901

I detest exaggeration

902

I didn't mean that--exactly

903

I dissent from the opinion

904

I distrust all general theories of

905

I do again and again urge upon you

906

I do not absolutely assert

907

I do not advocate

908

I do not argue

909

I do not ask you to

910

I do not at this moment remember

911

I do not believe it possible

912

I do not belong to those who

913

I do not choose to consume

914

I do not complain of

915

I do not comprehend your meaning

916

I do not consider it necessary

917

I do not contend

918

I do not countenance for a moment

919

I do not deem it incumbent upon me

920

I do not depreciate for a moment

921

I do not desire to call in question

922

I do not desire to put too much emphasis

923

I do not despair of surmounting

924

I do not disguise the fact

925

I do not doubt the sincerity of your arguments

926

I do not enter into the question

927

I do not exactly understand you

928

I do not fail to admire

929

I do not fear a contradiction

930

I do not feel at liberty

931

I do not feel sure that I entirely share your views

932

I do not find it an unpleasant subject

933

I do not forget the practical necessity

934

I do not hesitate to say

935

I do not imagine

936

I do not in the least degree

937

I do not indeed deny

938

I do not indulge in the delusion

939

I do not know how anyone can believe

940

I do not know whether you are aware of it

941

I do not know why

942

I do not know with what correctness

943

I do not mean anything so absurd

944

I do not mean now to go further than

945

I do not mean to impute

946

I do not merely urge

947

I do not mistrust

948

I do not myself pretend to be

949

I do not need to remind you

950

I do not pretend to argue

951

I do not propose to take up your time

952

I do not question for a moment

953

I do not recount all

954

I do not say anything about the future

955

I do not say this with any affectation

956

I do not see how it is possible

957

I do not see much difference between

958

I do not seek to palliate

959

I do not speak exclusively

960

I do not stop to discuss

961

I do not think it necessary to warn you

962

I do not think it possible

963

I do not think it unfair reasoning

964

I do not think myself obliged to dwell

965

I do not think that I need further discuss

966

I do not think this at all an exaggeration

967

I do not think we can go far wrong

968

I do not think you will often hear

969

I do not understand how it can apply

970

I do not vouch for

971

I do not want to discourage you

972

I do not wish to be considered egotistic

973

I do not wish to be misrepresented

974

I do not wonder

975

I do not, of course, deny

976

I do not, therefore, wonder

977

I do, indeed, recollect

978

I don't deny that it is interesting

979

I don't doubt it for a moment

980

I don't feel that it is my business

981

I don't insist on your believing me

982

I don't justify my presumption

983

I don't know quite why you should say that

984

I don't know that I can do that

985

I don't know when I have heard anything so lamentable

986

I don't know why you should be displeased

987

I don't make myself clear, I see

988

I don't pretend to explain

989

I don't see anything particularly wonderful in it

990

I don't underrate his kindness

991

I don't want to disguise that from you

992

I don't want to exaggerate

993

I don't want to seem critical

994

I doubt the truth of that saying

995

I doubt very much whether

996

I dwell with pleasure on the considerations

997

I earnestly maintain

998

I embrace with peculiar satisfaction

999

I end as I began
