1

I endorse it, every word

2

I entertain great apprehension for

3

I entertain no such chimerical hopes

4

I entertain the hope and opinion

5

I entirely approve of your plan

6

I entirely dissent from the view

7

I especially hail with approval

8

I even add this

9

I even venture to deny

10

I fancy I hear you say

11

I fancy it's just that

12

I fear I cannot help you

13

I fear I may seem trifling

14

I fear lest I may

15

I fear that's too technical for me

16

I fearlessly appeal

17

I fearlessly challenge

18

I feel a certain apprehension

19

I feel a great necessity to

20

I feel an unwonted sense of gaiety

21

I feel bound to add my expression

22

I feel constrained to declare

23

I feel entirely satisfied

24

I feel I have a right to say

25

I feel it a proud privilege

26

I feel it my duty to be frank with you

27

I feel keenly myself impelled by every duty

28

I feel myself scarcely competent to judge

29

I feel only a great emotion of gratitude

30

I feel respect and admiration

31

I feel some explanation is due

32

I feel sure

33

I feel tempted to introduce here

34

I feel that I have a special right to

35

I feel that it is not true

36

I feel the greatest satisfaction

37

I feel the task is far beyond my power

38

I feel very grateful to you for your kind offer

39

I felt a qualm of apprehension

40

I fervently trust

41

I find it absorbing

42

I find it difficult to utter in words

43

I find it more easy

44

I find it rather monotonous

45

I find my reference to this

46

I find myself called upon to say something

47

I find myself in the position of

48

I find no better example than

49

I find no fault with

50

I find numberless cases

51

I find this agreeable mental exhilaration

52

I flatter myself

53

I forbear to inquire

54

I foresaw the consequence

55

I frankly confess that

56

I fully recognize

57

I gave notice just now

58

I generally trust my first impressions

59

I give my word gladly

60

I give you my most sacred word of honor

61

I give you, in conclusion, this sentence

62

I go further

63

I grant all this

64

I grant with my warmest admiration

65

I gratefully accept

66

I greatly deplore

67

I had a kind of hope

68

I had almost said

69

I had better begin at the beginning

70

I had grown pure as the dawn and the dew

71

I had in common with others

72

I had no intention of being offensive

73

I had occasion to criticize

74

I hadn't thought of it in that light

75

I happen to differ

76

I hardly dare to dwell longer

77

I hardly know anything more strange

78

I hardly think that could be so

79

I hasten to concede

80

I have a dark suspicion

81

I have a great admiration for

82

I have a hundred reasons for thinking so

83

I have a peculiar affection for it

84

I have a pleasing and personal duty

85

I have a profound pity for those

86

I have a right to consider

87

I have a strong belief

88

I have a very high respect for

89

I have abstained from

90

I have acquired some useful experience

91

I have all along implied

92

I have all but finished

93

I have already alluded to

94

I have already shown the ground of my hope

95

I have already stated, and now repeat

96

I have always been under the impression

97

I have always listened with the greatest satisfaction

98

I have always maintained

99

I have an immense faith in him

100

I have another objection

101

I have another observation to add

102

I have anticipated the objection

103

I have assumed throughout

104

I have attempted thus hastily

105

I have barely touched some of the points

106

I have been allowed the privilege

107

I have been asked several times

108

I have been constrained by circumstances

109

I have been decidedly impressed

110

I have been extremely anxious

111

I have been favorably impressed by your

112

I have been given to understand

113

I have been glad to observe

114

I have been heretofore treating

115

I have been insisting then on this

116

I have been interested in hearing

117

I have been longing to see more of you

118

I have been pointing out how

119

I have been profoundly moved

120

I have been puzzling over a dilemma

121

I have been requested to say a word

122

I have been told by an eminent authority

123

I have been too long accustomed to hear

124

I have been touched by the large generosity

125

I have been trying to show

126

I have before me the statistics

127

I have but one more word to add

128

I have demonstrated to you

129

I have depicted

130

I have endeavored to emphasize

131

I have enlarged on this subject

132

I have every reason to think so

133

I have felt it almost a duty to

134

I have found great cause for wonder

135

I have frequently been surprised at

136

I have gazed with admiration

137

I have generally observed

138

I have given you the best proof of it

139

I have gone back to my first impressions

140

I have gone so far as to suggest

141

I have good reason for

142

I have had steadily in mind

143

I have had the honor

144

I have had to take a long sweep

145

I have heard it objected

146

I have heard the Hiddon People like the hum of swarming bees

147

I have heard with relief and pleasure

148

I have hitherto been adducing instances

149

I have hitherto been engaged in showing

150

I have in a measure anticipated

151

I have in my possession

152

I have incidentally dwelt on

153

I have introduced it to suggest

154

I have known striking instances of the kind

155

I have labored to maintain

156

I have laid much stress upon

157

I have lately observed many strong indications

158

I have listened with the utmost interest

159

I have little hope that I can add anything

160

I have lived to see

161

I have long ago insisted

162

I have long been of the conviction

163

I have never heard it put so well

164

I have never heard it suggested

165

I have never whispered a syllable

166

I have no acquaintance with

167

I have no delusions on that score

168

I have no doubt whatever

169

I have no excuse for intruding

170

I have no fear of myself

171

I have no fears for the success

172

I have no hesitation in asserting

173

I have no intention to moralize

174

I have no particular inclination

175

I have no prejudice on the subject

176

I have no pretention to be regarded

177

I have no reason to think

178

I have no scruple in saying

179

I have no such gloomy forebodings

180

I have no sympathy with the men

181

I have no thought of venturing to say

182

I have no wish at all to preach

183

I have not accustomed myself

184

I have not allowed myself

185

I have not been able to deny

186

I have not particularly referred to

187

I have not said anything yet

188

I have not succeeded in convincing myself of that

189

I have not the influence you think

190

I have not the least doubt of it

191

I have not the means of forming a judgment

192

I have not the right to reproach

193

I have not time to present

194

I have nothing more to say

195

I have noticed of late years

196

I have now explained to you

197

I have now made bold to touch upon

198

I have now much pleasure in confirming

199

I have now rather more than kept my word

200

I have now said all that occurs to me

201

I have often a difficulty in deciding

202

I have often been impressed with

203

I have often been struck with the resemblance

204

I have often lingered in fancy

205

I have often marveled at your courage

206

I have one step farther to go

207

I have only partially examined

208

I have partly anticipated

209

I have pleasant memories of

210

I have pleasure in acknowledging

211

I have pointed out

212

I have pride and pleasure in quoting

213

I have quite changed my opinion about that

214

I have racked this brain of mine

215

I have read with great regret

216

I have said and I repeat

217

I have said over and over again

218

I have said what I solemnly believe

219

I have scant patience

220

I have seen for myself

221

I have seen it stated in a recent journal

222

I have seen some signs of encouragement

223

I have seen the ravens flying, like banners of old wars

224

I have shown

225

I have some sort of fear

226

I have something of great importance to say to you

227

I have sometimes asked myself

228

I have sometimes fancied

229

I have sometimes vaguely felt it

230

I have sometimes wondered whether

231

I have somewhat overshot the mark

232

I have still two comments to make

233

I have taken pains to know

234

I have the confident hope

235

I have the greatest possible confidence

236

I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt

237

I have the honor to propose

238

I have the honor to remain

239

I have the strongest possible prejudice against it

240

I have then to investigate

241

I have thought it incumbent on me

242

I have thought it right on this day

243

I have thought it well to suggest

244

I have throughout highly appreciated

245

I have thus been led by my feelings

246

I have thus stated the reason

247

I have to confess with a feeling of melancholy

248

I have to force my imagination

249

I have touched very cursorily

250

I have tried to convey to you

251

I have undertaken to speak

252

I have very much less feeling of

253

I have watched with some attention

254

I have witnessed the extraordinary

255

I have yet a more cogent reason

256

I have yet to learn

257

I haven't the remotest idea

258

I hazard nothing in saying

259

I hear it sometimes said

260

I hear you say to yourselves

261

I heartily congratulate you

262

I heartily feel the singular claims

263

I herewith submit my application

264

I hesitate to take an instance

265

I highly appreciate this mark of confidence

266

I hold it to be clearly expedient

267

I hold myself obliged to

268

I hold the maxim no less applicable

269

I hold this to be a truth

270

I hold to the principle

271

I hope by this time we are all convinced

272

I hope for our own sakes

273

I hope I have expressed myself explicitly

274

I hope I may be allowed to intimate

275

I hope I shall not be told

276

I hope it is no disparagement

277

I hope it will not seem unreasonable to you

278

I hope most sincerely and truly

279

I hope none who hear me

280

I hope not to occupy more than a few minutes

281

I hope that I shall not be so unfortunate

282

I hope the day may be far distant

283

I hope the time may come again

284

I hope to be excused if

285

I hope to be forgiven if

286

I hope we may forget

287

I hope we may meet again

288

I hope you will forgive an intruder

289

I hope you will not accuse me

290

I hope you will not think me irreverent

291

I hope you will pardon my seeming carelessness

292

I imagine that no one will be disposed

293

I indulge the modest hope

294

I insist upon it

295

I intend to propose

296

I know from experience how

297

I know full well

298

I know I am treading on thin ice

299

I know it has been questioned

300

I know it is said

301

I know it is very presumptuous

302

I know it will be said

303

I know many reasons why

304

I know my request will appear singular

305

I know not how else to express

306

I know not in what direction to look

307

I know not of my own knowledge

308

I know not where else to find

309

I know perfectly well

310

I know that it is impossible for me to

311

I know that this is the feeling

312

I know that what I may say is true

313

I know there are some who think

314

I know there is a theory among us

315

I know too well

316

I know very well the difference between

317

I know well it is not for me

318

I know well the sentiments

319

I know you are all impatient to hear

320

I know you will do all in your power

321

I know you will interpret what I say

322

I labor under a degree of prejudice

323

I lately heard it affirmed

324

I lay it down as a principle

325

I leave history to judge

326

I leave it to you

327

I leave the arduous task

328

I leave to others to speak

329

I like it immensely

330

I like your frankness

331

I long to speak a word or two

332

I look forward to pleasant personal relations in the future

333

I look hopefully to

334

I look in vain

335

I look with encouragement

336

I look with inexpressible dread

337

I look with mingled hope and terror

338

I lost myself in a reverie of gratitude

339

I made bold to retort

340

I make my appeal to

341

I make no extravagant claim

342

I make no reflection whatever

343

I make this abrupt acknowledgment

344

I marvel that

345

I may add, speaking for my own part

346

I may be allowed to make one remark

347

I may be permitted to add

348

I may confess to you

349

I may safely appeal

350

I may say to you calmly

351

I may seem to have been diffuse

352

I may take as an instance

353

I may venture upon a review

354

I mean by this

355

I mean it literally

356

I mean something more than that

357

I mean, moreover

358

I mention it to you to justify

359

I mention these facts because

360

I mention this, not by way of complaint

361

I might bring you another such case

362

I might deny that

363

I might enter into such detail

364

I might go further

365

I might go on indefinitely

366

I might go on to illustrate

367

I might of course point first

368

I might question all that

369

I might reasonably question the justice

370

I might try to explain

371

I might venture to claim

372

I might well have desired

373

I might well think

374

I mistrust these wild impulses

375

I most certainly agree with you

376

I most humbly ask pardon

377

I must add my congratulations on your taste

378

I must apologize for intruding upon you

379

I must ask an abrupt question

380

I must ask you one more question, if I may

381

I must be careful about what I say

382

I must be contented with

383

I must be excused if I say

384

I must bow in reverence

385

I must call your attention for a moment

386

I must conclude abruptly

387

I must confess I have never thought of that

388

I must confess that I became rather alarmed

389

I must consider this as

390

I must crave your indulgence

391

I must express to you again

392

I must fairly tell you

393

I must find some fault with

394

I must for want of time omit

395

I must hazard the story

396

I must here admit

397

I must lament

398

I must leave any detailed development

399

I must mention with praise

400

I must not allow myself to indulge

401

I must not for an instant be supposed

402

I must not overlook

403

I must now beg to ask

404

I must pause a moment to

405

I must proceed

406

I must qualify the statement

407

I must refrain from any comment

408

I must remind my hearers of

409

I must reply to some observations

410

I must respectfully decline to tell you

411

I must return to the subject

412

I must say that I am one of those

413

I must speak plainly

414

I must suppose, however

415

I must take occasion to say

416

I must take this opportunity to tell you

417

I must thank you once more

418

I must try to describe to you

419

I myself have boundless faith

420

I need not assure this brilliant company

421

I need not dwell

422

I need not enter into

423

I need not follow out the application

424

I need not remind you that you have a grave responsibility

425

I need not say how much I thank you

426

I need not show how inconsistent

427

I need not specially recommend to you

428

I need not wander far in search

429

I need not, I am certain, assure you

430

I need only to observe

431

I need say nothing in praise

432

I need scarcely observe

433

I need to guard myself right here

434

I neither affirm nor deny

435

I never heard anything so absurd

436

I next come to the implicit assumption

437

I note with particular pleasure

438

I notice it as affording an instance

439

I noticed incidentally the fact

440

I now address you on a question

441

I now come, sir, to the second head

442

I now have the pleasure of presenting to you

443

I now pass to the question of

444

I now proceed to inquire

445

I now reiterate

446

I object strongly to the use

447

I observe, then, in the first place

448

I offer my humblest apologies

449

I only ask a favorable construction of

450

I only marvel

451

I only wish you to recognize

452

I open the all-important question

453

I ought to give an illustration

454

I owe the idea wholly to you

455

I own I can not help feeling

456

I particularly allude to

457

I partly agree with you

458

I pass on from that

459

I pass then to our second division

460

I pause for a moment to say

461

I pause to confess once more

462

I pay tribute to

463

I personally know that it is so

464

I personally owe you a great debt of thankfulness

465

I place myself entirely at your service

466

I place the most implicit reliance on your good sense

467

I pray God I may never

468

I predict that you will

469

I prefer a practical view

470

I prefer to reserve my judgment

471

I presume I shall have to admit

472

I presume that I shall not be disbelieved

473

I proceed to another important phase

474

I profess

475

I propose briefly to glance at

476

I propose, therefore to consider

477

I protest I never had any doubt

478

I purposely evaded the question

479

I purposely have avoided

480

I question whether

481

I quite appreciate the very clever way you put it

482

I quite endorse what has been said

483

I quite see what the advantages are

484

I rather look forward to a time

485

I readily grant

486

I realize how painful it must be to you

487

I really am curious to know how you guessed that

488

I really can not think it necessary to

489

I really do not know

490

I really thought that you would excuse me

491

I recall another historical fact

492

I recognize the high compliment conveyed

493

I recollect hearing a sagacious remark

494

I recollect it clearly

495

I refer especially

496

I refuse to believe

497

I regard as an erroneous view

498

I regard it as a tribute

499

I regard it as a very great honor

500

I regret exceedingly to inform you

501

I regret that I am not able to remember

502

I regret that it is not possible for me

503

I regret the time limits me

504

I regret this the less

505

I rejoice in an occasion like this

506

I rejoice that events have occurred

507

I rejoice to think I remark here

508

I rely on your good sense

509

I remain, my dear sir, yours faithfully

510

I remember a reference made

511

I remember an intimation

512

I remember full well

513

I remember the enjoyment with which

514

I remember the occasion perfectly

515

I remember to have heard

516

I repeat my statement in another form

517

I repeat, I am not speaking

518

I resent that kind of thing

519

I respect you for that

520

I respect your critical faculty

521

I respectfully counsel

522

I respectfully submit

523

I rest my opinion on

524

I return you my most grateful thanks

525

I return, in conclusion, to

526

I rise in behalf

527

I rise to express my disapprobation

528

I rise to thank you

529

I rise with some trepidation

530

I said a little way back

531

I said it would be well

532

I said that I thought

533

I salute with profound reverence

534

I sanction with all my heart

535

I saw a face bloom like a flower

536

I saw a river of men marching like a tide

537

I saw an ingenious argument the other day

538

I saw his senses swim dizzy as clouds

539

I say frankly

540

I say in moderation

541

I say it in all modesty

542

I say it is extremely important

543

I say it most confidently

544

I say no more of these things

545

I say not one syllable against

546

I say this is no disparagement of

547

I say this the more gladly

548

I say without fear of contradiction

549

I say, then, my first point is

550

I see around me

551

I see as clearly as any man possibly can

552

I see disapproval in your face

553

I see it from a different angle

554

I see little hope of

555

I see no exception

556

I see no possibility of

557

I see no reason for doubting

558

I see you are an enthusiast

559

I see your point of view

560

I seem to have heard that sentiment before

561

I seem to hear you say

562

I seize upon this opportunity

563

I seriously desire

564

I set out with saying

565

I shall add a few words

566

I shall address myself to a single point

567

I shall ask you to look very closely

568

I shall at once proceed to forget it

569

I shall await your pleasure

570

I shall be glad if you will join me

571

I shall be interested to watch it develop

572

I shall be most proud and pleased

573

I shall be pleased to forward descriptive circulars

574

I shall be told

575

I shall best attain my object

576

I shall bestow a little attention upon

577

I shall certainly admit

578

I shall certainly take you at your word

579

I shall consider myself privileged

580

I shall desist from

581

I shall say all this without entering into

613

I shall show that I am not

I shall speak with becoming frankness

616

I shall take a broader view of the subject

617

I shall take it for granted here

I shall touch upon one or two questions

620

I shall waste no time in refuting

621

I shall with your sanction

622

I should appreciate your confidence greatly

623

I should be false to my own manhood

624

I should be surprised if

625

I should be the last man to deny

626

I should be very ungrateful were I not satisfied with it

627

I should fail in my duty if

628

I should feel unhappy if I did otherwise

629

I should find it hard to discover

630

I should have forfeited my own self-respect

631

I should like at least to mention

632

I should like to emphasize

633

I should like to go a step farther

634

I should like to refer to two events

635

I should like to see that view answered

636

I should like to-day to examine briefly

637

I should like your opinion of it

638

I should much prefer

639

I should not be satisfied with myself

640

I should not dream of asking you to do so

641

I should think it too absurd

642

I should think it very unlikely

643

I should welcome an interview at your convenience

644

I shrink from the contemplation

645

I shudder at the doctrine

646

I simply cannot endure it

647

I simply lay my finger on a fact

648

I simply pause here to ask

649

I sincerely hope that you will give the subject your earnest consideration

650

I sincerely regret the absence

651

I sincerely wish it were in my power

652

I solemnly declare

653

I sometimes hear a wish expressed

654

I sorrowfully call to mind

655

I speak forth my sentiment

656

I speak from no little personal observation

657

I speak of this to show

I stand in awed amazement before

669

I stand in the midst of men

670

I still view with respect

671

I submit it to every candid mind

672

I submit that in such a case

673

I submit that it is high time

674

I submit this proposition

675

I suffered agonies of shyness

676

I summon you to do your share

677

I suppose I ought to feel flattered

678

I suppose it is right to answer

679

I suppose it to be entirely true

680

I suppose most men will recollect

681

I suppose that everyone who listens to me

682

I suppose there is no one here

683

I suppose we are all of one opinion

684

I surmised as much

685

I suspect that is why we so often

686

I sympathize deeply with you

687

I sympathize most heartily

688

I take a broader and bolder position

689

I take it for granted

690

I take leave to say

691

692

I take pleasure in replying to your inquiry concerning

693

I take this instance at random

697

I take two views of

I tell him in reply

699

714

I think I can claim a purpose

715

I think I can sincerely declare

716

I think I have a right to look upon

717

I think I have rightly spoken

718

723

I think it is quite right

724

I think it is superb!

725

I think it may be necessary to consider

726

I think it might be said with safety

727

728

I think it observable

729

I think it probable

730

I think it quite admirable

731

I think it will astonish you

733

I think its tone is remarkably temperate

734

I think no Wise man can be indifferent

735

I think something may be said in favor of

736

I think that all will agree

737

I think that I can explain

738

I think that I can venture to say

739

I think that is rather a brilliant idea

740

I think that none of us will deny

741

I think that, in these last years

742

I think there is no better evidence

743

I think there is no call on me to listen

744

I think we are justified

745

I think we can hardly hope

746

I think we may all easily see

747

I think we may ask in reply

748

I think we may safely conclude

749

I think we may say, therefore

751

I think we may well congratulate each other

752

I think we must draw a distinction

753

I think we need neither doubt nor fear

754

I think we ought to recur a moment to

755

I think we shall all recognize

756

I think we should do well to call to mind

757

I think we take too narrow a view

758

I think what you say is reasonable

759

I think when we look back upon

760

I think you are quibbling

761

I think you are rather severe in your opinions

762

I think you have great appreciation of values

763

I think you have summed it up perfectly

764

I think you may well rejoice in

765

I think you will all agree

I think you will pardon my saying

767

I think you will see

768

I think your candor is charming

770

I thoroughly agree with you

771

I thought it most amusing

772

I thought you were seriously indisposed

773

I thus explicitly reply

774

I took the good day from the hands of God as a perfect gift

775

I tremble at the task

776

I tremble to think

777

I trust I may be indulged

778

I trust I shall hear from you soon

779

I trust it is not presumptuous

780

I trust that as the years roll on

781

I trust that I shall have the indulgence

782

I trust that this will not be regarded as

783

I trust you will not consider it an impertinence

784

I turn, gentlemen, to the case

785

I understand exactly how you feel about it

786

I understand your delicacy of feeling

787

I use the word advisedly

I venture to ask permission

793

I venture to propose another plan

795

I verily believe

796

I very confidently submit

797

816

I was exceedingly interested

817

I was hoping that I could persuade you

820

I was in a somber mood

821

I was lost in admiration

822

823

I was not slow to accept and believe

824

I was not without some anxiety

847

I will even express a hope at the outset

I will only sum up my evidence

874

I will only take an occasion to express

875

I will only venture to remind you

876

I will permit myself the liberty of saying

877

I will say at once

879

I will speak but a word or two more

880

I will speak plainly

881

I will state with perfect distinctness

882

I will suppose the objection to be

883

I will take it only under compulsion

884

I will take one more instance

885

I will take the precaution to add

886

I will tell you what I think of

887

I will tell you what puzzles me

888

I will think of it, since you wish it

889

I will try to make the thing intelligible

890

I will venture a single remark

891

I will venture to add

892

I will venture to express the hope

893

I will yield the whole question

894

I will, with great pleasure

895

I willingly admit

896

I wish also to declare positively

897

I wish at the outset

898

I wish emphatically to reaffirm

I wish to say a word or two

I wish to state all this as a matter of fact

920

I wish you success and happiness

921

I wish you to observe

922

I wish, sir, that justice might be done

923

I wonder how much truth there is in it?

924

I wonder if you have the smallest recollection of me?

925

I would agree if I understood

926

I would also gratefully acknowledge

927

I would as soon believe

928

I would desire to speak simply and directly

929

I would enter a protest

930

I would fain believe

931

I would further point out to you

932

I would have you understand

933

I would infinitely rather

934

I would like to say one word just here

935

I would not be understood as belittling

936

I would not dwell upon that matter if

937

I would not push the suggestion so far

938

I would now gladly lay before you

939

I would rather a thousand times

940

I would recommend to your consideration

I would suggest first of all

942

I would that my voice could reach the ear

943

I would urge and entreat you

944

I would urge upon you

945

I would venture to point out

946

I wouldn't put it just that way

947

I yielded to the earnest solicitations

948

I yielded to the ingratiating mood of the day
