+INTRODUCTION
+
+The most powerful and the most perfect expression of thought and feeling
+through the medium of oral language must be traced to the mastery of
+words. Nothing is better suited to lead speakers and readers of English
+into an easy control of this language than the command of the phrase that
+perfectly expresses the thought. Every speaker's aim is to be heard and
+understood. A clear, crisp articulation holds an audience as by the spell
+of some irresistible power. The choice word, the correct phrase, are
+instruments that may reach the heart, and awake the soul if they fall upon
+the ear in melodious cadence; but if the utterance be harsh and discordant
+they fail to interest, fall upon deaf ears, and are as barren as seed sown
+on fallow ground. In language, nothing conduces so emphatically to the
+harmony of sounds as perfect phrasing--that is, the emphasizing of the
+relation of clause to clause, and of sentence to sentence by the
+systematic grouping of words. The phrase consists usually of a few words
+which denote a single idea that forms a separate part of a sentence. In
+this respect it differs from the clause, which is a short sentence that
+forms a distinct part of a composition, paragraph, or discourse. Correct
+phrasing is regulated by rests, such rests as do not break the continuity
+of a thought or the progress of the sense.
+
+GRENVILLE KLEISER, who has devoted years of his diligent life to imparting
+the art of correct expression in speech and writing, has provided many
+aids for those who would know not merely what to say, but how to say it.
+He has taught also what the great HOLMES taught, that language is a temple
+in which the human soul is enshrined, and that it grows out of life--out
+of its joys and its sorrows, its burdens and its necessities. To him, as
+well as to the writer, the deep strong voice of man and the low sweet
+voice of woman are never heard at finer advantage than in the earnest but
+mellow tones of familiar speech. In the present volume Mr. Kleiser
+furnishes an additional and an exceptional aid for those who would have a
+mint of phrases at their command from which to draw when in need of the
+golden mean for expressing thought. Few indeed are the books fitted to-day
+for the purpose of imparting this knowledge, yet two centuries ago
+phrase-books were esteemed as supplements to the dictionaries, and have
+not by any manner of means lost their value. The guide to familiar
+quotations, the index to similes, the grammars, the readers, the
+machine-made letter-writer of mechanically perfect letters of
+congratulation or condolence--none are sententious enough to supply the
+need. By the compilation of this praxis, Mr. Kleiser has not only supplied
+it, but has furnished a means for the increase of one's vocabulary by
+practical methods. There are thousands of persons who may profit by the
+systematic study of such a book as this if they will familiarize
+themselves with the author's purpose by a careful reading of the
+preliminary pages of his book. To speak in public pleasingly and readily
+and to read well are accomplishments acquired only after many days, weeks
+even, of practise.
+
+Foreigners sometimes reproach us for the asperity and discordance of our
+speech, and in general, this reproach is just, for there are many persons
+who do scanty justice to the vowel-elements of our language. Although
+these elements constitute its music they are continually mistreated. We
+flirt with and pirouette around them constantly. If it were not so,
+English would be found full of beauty and harmony of sound. Familiar with
+the maxim, "Take care of the vowels and the consonants will take care of
+themselves,"--a maxim that when put into practise has frequently led to
+the breaking-down of vowel values--the writer feels that the common custom
+of allowing "the consonants to take care of themselves" is pernicious. It
+leads to suppression or to imperfect utterance, and thus produces
+indistinct articulation.
+
+The English language is so complex in character that it can scarcely be
+learned by rule, and can best be mastered by the study of such idioms and
+phrases as are provided in this book; but just as care must be taken to
+place every accent or stress on the proper syllable in the pronouncing of
+every word it contains, so must the stress or emphasis be placed on the
+proper word in every sentence spoken. To read or speak pleasingly one
+should resort to constant practise by doing so aloud in private, or
+preferably, in the presence of such persons as know good reading when they
+hear it and are masters of the melody of sounds. It was Dean Swift's
+belief that the common fluency of speech in many men and most women was
+due to scarcity of matter and scarcity of words. He claimed that a master
+of language possessed a mind full of ideas, and that before speaking, such
+a mind paused to select the choice word--the phrase best suited to the
+occasion. "Common speakers," he said, "have only one set of ideas, and one
+set of words to clothe them in," and these are always ready on the lips.
+Because he holds the Dean's view sound to-day, the writer will venture to
+warn the readers of this book against a habit that, growing far too common
+among us, should be checked, and this is the iteration and reiteration in
+conversation of "the battered, stale, and trite" phrases, the like of
+which were credited by the worthy Dean to the women   of his time.
+
+Human thought elaborates itself with the progress of intelligence. Speech
+is the harvest of thought, and the relation which exists between words and
+the mouths that speak them must be carefully observed. Just as nothing is
+more beautiful than a word fitly spoken, so nothing is rarer than the use
+of a word in its exact meaning. There is a tendency to overwork both words
+and phrases that is not restricted to any particular class. The learned
+sin in this respect even as do the ignorant, and the practise spreads
+until it becomes an epidemic. The epidemic word with us yesterday was
+unquestionably "conscription"; several months ago it was "preparedness."
+Before then "efficiency" was heard on every side and succeeded in
+superseding "vocational teaching," only to be displaced in turn by "life
+extension" activities. "Safety-first" had a long run which was brought
+almost to abrupt end by "strict accountability," but these are mere
+reflections of our cosmopolitan life and activities. There are others that
+stand out as indicators of brain-weariness. These are most frequently met
+in the work of our novelists.
+
+English authors and journalists are abusing and overworking the word
+intrigue to-day. Sir Arthur Quillercouch on page 81 of his book "On the
+Art of Writing" uses it: "We are intrigued by the process of manufacture
+instead of being wearied by a description of the ready-made article." Mrs.
+Sidgwick in "Salt and Savour," page 232, wrote: "But what intrigued her
+was Little Mamma's remark at breakfast," From the Parliamentary news, one
+learns that "Mr. Harcourt intrigued the House of Commons by his sustained
+silence for two years" and that "London is interested in, and not a little
+intrigued, by the statement." This use of intrigue in the sense of
+"perplex, puzzle, trick, or deceive" dates from 1600. Then it fell into a
+state of somnolence, and after an existence of innocuous desuetude lasting
+till 1794 it was revived, only to hibernate again until 1894. It owes its
+new lease of life to a writer on The Westminster Gazette, a London journal
+famous for its competitions in aid of the restoring of the dead meanings
+of words.
+
+One is almost exasperated by the repeated use and abuse of the word
+"intimate" in a recently published work of fiction, by an author who
+aspires to the first rank in his profession. He writes of "the intimate
+dimness of the room;" "a fierce intimate whispering;" "a look that was
+intimate;" "the noise of the city was intimate," etc. Who has not heard,
+"The idea!" "What's the idea?" "Is that the idea?" "Yes, that's the idea,"
+with increased inflection at each repetition. And who is without a friend
+who at some time or another has not sprung "meticulous" upon him? Another
+example is afforded by the endemic use of "of sorts" which struck London
+while the writer was in that city a few years ago. Whence it came no one
+knew, but it was heard on every side. "She was a woman of sorts;" "he is a
+Tory of sorts;" "he had a religion of sorts;" "he was a critic of sorts."
+While it originally meant "of different or various kinds," as hats of
+sorts; offices of sorts; cheeses of sorts, etc., it is now used
+disparagingly, and implies something of a kind that is not satisfactory,
+or of a character that is rather poor. This, as Shakespeare might have
+said, is "Sodden business! There's a stewed phrase indeed!" [Footnote:
+Troilus and Cressida, act iii, sc. 1.]
+
+The abuse of phrases and the misuse of words rife among us can be checked
+by diligent exercises in good English, such as this book provides. These
+exercises, in conjunction with others to be found in different volumes by
+the same author, will serve to correct careless diction and slovenly
+speech, and lead to the art of speaking and writing correctly; for, after
+all, accuracy in the use of words is more a matter of habit than of
+theory, and once it is acquired it becomes just as easy to speak or to
+write good English as bad English. It was Chesterfield's resolution not to
+speak a word in conversation which was not the fittest he could recall.
+All persons should avoid using words whose meanings they do not know, and
+with the correct application of which they are unfamiliar. The best spoken
+and the best written English is that which conforms to the language as
+used by men and women of culture--a high standard, it is true, but one not
+so high that it is unattainable by any earnest student of the English
+tongue.
+FRANK H. VIZETELLY.
+
+
+
+HOW TO USE THIS BOOK
+
+The study of words, phrases, and literary expressions is a highly
+interesting pursuit. There is a reciprocal influence between thought and
+language. What we think molds the words we use, and the words we use react
+upon our thoughts. Hence a study of words is a study of ideas, and a
+stimulant to deep and original thinking.
+
+We should not, however, study "sparkling words and sonorous phrases" with
+the object of introducing them consciously into our speech. To do so would
+inevitably lead to stiltedness and superficiality. Words and phrases
+should be studied as symbols of ideas, and as we become thoroughly
+familiar with them they will play an unconscious but effective part in our
+daily expression.
+
+We acquire our vocabulary largely from our reading and our personal
+associates. The words we use are an unmistakable indication of our thought
+habits, tastes, ideals, and interests in life. In like manner, the
+habitual language of a people is a barometer of their intellectual, civil,
+moral, and spiritual ideals. A great and noble people express themselves
+in great and noble words.
+
+Ruskin earnestly counsels us to form the habit of looking intensely at
+words. We should scrutinize them closely and endeavor to grasp their
+innermost meaning. There is an indefinable satisfaction in knowing how to
+choose and use words with accuracy and precision. As Fox once said, "I am
+never at a loss for a word, but Pitt always has the word."
+
+All the great writers and orators have been diligent students of words.
+Demosthenes and Cicero were indefatigable in their study of language.
+Shakespeare, "infinite in faculty," took infinite pains to embody his
+thought in words of crystal clearness. Coleridge once said of him that
+one might as well try to dislodge a brick from a building with one's
+forefinger as to omit a single word from one of his finest passages.
+
+Milton, master of majestic prose, under whose touch words became as living
+things; Flaubert, who believed there was one and one only best word with
+which to express a given thought; De Quincey, who exercised a weird-like
+power over words; Ruskin, whose rhythmic prose enchanted the ear; Keats,
+who brooded over phrases like a lover; Newman, of pure and melodious
+style; Stevenson, forever in quest of the scrupulously precise word;
+Tennyson, graceful and exquisite as the limpid stream; Emerson, of
+trenchant and epigrammatic style; Webster, whose virile words sometimes
+weighed a pound; and Lincoln, of simple, Saxon speech,--all these
+illustrious men were assiduous in their study of words.
+
+Many persons of good education unconsciously circumscribe themselves
+within a small vocabulary. They have a knowledge of hundreds of desirable
+words which they do not put into practical use in their speech or writing.
+Many, too, are conscious of a poverty of language, which engenders in them
+a sense of timidity and self-depreciation. The method used for building a
+large vocabulary has usually been confined to the study of single words.
+This has produced good results, but it is believed that eminently better
+results can be obtained from a careful study of words and expressions, as
+furnished in this book, where words can be examined in their context.
+
+It is intended and suggested that this study should be pursued in
+connection with, and as a supplement to, a good standard dictionary.
+Fifteen minutes a day devoted to this subject, in the manner outlined,
+will do more to improve and enlarge the vocabulary than an hour spent in
+desultory reading.
+
+There is no better way in which to develop the mental qualities of
+clearness, accuracy, and precision, and to improve and enlarge the
+intellectual powers generally, than by regular and painstaking study of
+judiciously selected phrases and literary expressions.
+
+PLAN OF STUDY
+
+First examine the book in a general way to grasp its character, scope, and
+purpose. Carefully note the following plan of classification of the
+various kinds of phrases, and choose for initial study a section which you
+think will be of the most immediate value to you.

+II.   SIGNIFICANT PHRASES
+III.  FELICITOUS PHRASES
+IV.   IMPRESSIVE PHRASES
+V.    PREPOSITIONAL PHRASES
+VI.   BUSINESS PHRASES
+VII.  LITERARY EXPRESSIONS
+VIII. STRIKING SIMILES
+IX.   CONVERSATIONAL PHRASES
+X.    PUBLIC SPEAKING PHRASES
+XI.   MISCELLANEOUS PHRASES
+
+There are many advantages in keeping before you a definite purpose in your
+study of this book. A well-defined plan will act as an incentive to
+regular and systematic effort, and incidentally develop your power of
+concentration.
+
+It is desirable that you set apart a certain convenient time each day for
+this study. Regularity tends to produce maximum results. As you progress
+with this work your interest will be quickened and you will realize the
+desirability of giving more and more time to this important subject.
+
+When you have chosen a section of the book which particularly appeals to
+you, begin your actual study by reading the phrases aloud. Read them
+slowly and understandingly. This tends to impress them more deeply upon
+your mind, and is in itself one of the best and most practical ways of
+acquiring a large and varied vocabulary. Moreover, the practise of
+fitting words to the mouth rapidly develops fluency and facility of
+speech.
+
+Few persons realize the great value of reading aloud. Many of the foremost
+English stylists devoted a certain period regularly to this practise.
+Cardinal Newman read aloud each day a chapter from Cicero as a means of
+developing his ear for sentence-rhythm. Rufus Choate, in order to
+increase his command of language, and to avoid sinking into mere empty
+fluency, read aloud daily, during a large part of his life, a page or more
+from some great English author. As a writer has said, "The practise of
+storing the mind with choice passages from the best prose writers and
+poets, and thus flavoring it with the essence of good literatures, is one
+which is commended both by the best teachers and by the example of some of
+the most celebrated orators, who have adopted it with signal success."
+
+This study should be pursued with pencil in hand, so that you may readily
+underscore phrases which make a special appeal to you. The free use of a
+pencil in marking significant parts of a book is good evidence of
+thoroughness. This, too, will facilitate your work of subsequent review.
+
+The habit of regularly copying, in your own handwriting, one or more pages
+of phrases will be of immense practical value. This exercise is a great
+aid in developing a facile English style. The daily use of the pen has
+been recommended in all times as a valuable means of developing oral and
+literary expression.
+
+A helpful exercise is to pronounce a phrase aloud and then fit it into a
+complete sentence of your own making. This practice gives added facility
+and resourcefulness in the use of words.
+
+As an enthusiastic student of good English, you should carefully note
+striking and significant phrases or literary expressions which you find in
+your general reading. These should be set down in a note-book reserved for
+this exclusive purpose. In this way you can prepare many lists of your
+own, and thus greatly augment the value of this study.
+
+The taste for beauty, truth, and harmony in language can be developed by
+careful study of well-selected phrases and literary expressions as
+furnished in this book. A good literary style is formed principally by
+daily study of great English writers, by careful examination of words in
+their context, and by a discriminating use of language at all times.

+Rays springing from the east like golden arrows
+
+Red as the print of a kiss might be
+
+Redolent with the homely scent of old-fashioned herbs and flowers
+
+Reflected each in the other like stars in a lake
+
+Refreshed like dusty grass after a shower
+
+Refreshing as descending rains to sunburnt climes
+
+Remote as the hidden star
+
+Restless as a blue-bottle fly on a warm summer's day
+
+Revealed his doings like those of bees in a glass hive
+
+Rich as the dawn
+
+Ride like the wind through the night
+
+Rivers that like silver threads
+ran through the green and gold of pasture lands
+
+Roared like mountain torrents
+
+Rolling it under the tongue as a sweet morsel
+
+Round my chair the children run like little things of dancing gold
+
+Ruddy as sunrise
+
+Ruddy his face as the morning light
+
+Ruffling out his cravat with a crackle of starch,
+like a turkey when it spreads its feathers
+
+Running to and fro like frightened sheep
+
+Rushing and hurrying about like a June-bug
+
+
+S
+
+Sanctuaries where the passions may, like wild falcons,
+cover their faces with their wings
+
+Sayings that stir the blood like the sound of a trumpet
+
+Scattered love as stars do light
+
+Sea-gulls flying like flakes of the sea
+
+Sentences level and straight like a hurled lance
+
+Shadowy faces, known in dreams, pass as petals upon a stream
+
+Shake like an aspen leaf
+
+Shaken off like a nightmare
+
+Shapeless as a sack of wool
+
+Shattered like so much glass
+
+She brightened like a child whose broken toy is glued together
+
+She could summon tears as one summons servants
+
+She danced like a flower in the wind
+
+She disclaimed the weariness that
+dragged upon her spirits like leaden weights
+
+She exuded a faint and intoxicating perfume of womanliness,
+like a crushed herb
+
+She felt like an unrepentant criminal
+
+She fled like a spirit from the room
+
+She flounders like a huge conger-eel in an ocean of dingy morality
+
+She gave him a surprised look,
+like a child catching an older person in a foolish statement
+
+She gave off antipathies as a liquid gives off vapor
+
+She has great eyes like the doe
+
+She heard him like one in a dream
+
+She let the soft waves of her deep hair fall like flowers from Paradise
+
+She looked like a tall golden candle
+
+She looked like the picture of a young rapt saint, lost in heavenly musing
+
+She moved like mirth incarnate
+
+She nestles like a dove
+
+She played with a hundred possibilities
+fitfully and discursively as a musician runs his fingers over a key-board
+
+She played with grave cabinets as a cat plays with a mouse
+
+She saw this planet like a star hung in the glistening depths of even
+
+She seemed as happy as a wave that dances on the sea
+
+She shall be sportive as the fawn
+
+She stood silent a moment, dropping before him like a broken branch
+
+She that passed had lips like pinks
+
+She walked like a galley-slave
+
+She walks in beauty like the night
+
+She was as brilliant, and as hard too, as electric light
+
+She was silent, standing before him like a little statuesque figure
+
+Shining like the dewy star of dawn
+
+Shivering pine-trees, like phantoms
+
+Showy as damask-rose and shy as musk
+
+Shrill as the loon's call
+
+Shrivel like paper thrust into a flame
+
+Shy as the squirrel
+
+Sights seen as a traveling swallow might see them on the wing
+
+Silence deep as death
+
+Silence now is brooding
+like a gentle spirit o'er the still and pulseless world
+
+Silence that seemed heavy and dark; like a passing cloud
+
+Sinks clamorous like mill-waters at wild play
+
+Sits like the maniac on his fancied throne
+
+Skies as clear as babies' eyes
+
+Sleek and thick and yellow as gold
+
+Slender and thin as a slender wire
+
+Slowly as a tortoise
+
+Slowly as the finger of a clock, her shadow came
+
+Slowly moved off and disappeared
+like shapes breathed on a mirror and melting away
+
+Slowly, unnoted, like the creeping rust
+that spreads insidious, had estrangement come
+
+Small as a grain of mustard seed
+
+Smooth as a pond
+
+Smooth as the pillar flashing in the sun
+
+Snug as a bug in a rug
+
+Soaring as swift as smoke from a volcano springs
+
+So elusive that the memory of it afterwards
+was wont to come and go like a flash of light
+
+So my spirit beat itself like a caged bird against its prison bars in vain
+
+Soft as a zephyr
+
+Soft as sleep the snow fell
+
+Soft as Spring
+
+Soft as the down of the turtle dove
+
+Soft as the landscape of a dream
+
+Soft as the south-wind
+
+Soft in their color as gray pearls
+
+Soft vibrations of verbal melody, like the sound of a golden bell
+rung far down under the humming waters
+
+Some gleams of feeling pure and warm as sunshine on a sky of storm
+
+Some like veiled ghosts hurrying past
+as though driven to their land of shadows by shuddering fear
+
+Some minds are like an open fire--how direct and instant
+our communication with them
+
+Something divine seemed to cling around her like some subtle vapor
+
+Something resistant and inert, like the obstinate rolling over
+of a heavy sleeper after he has been called to get up
+
+Something sharp and brilliant, like the glitter of a sword
+or a forked flash of lightning
+
+Sorrowful eyes like those of wearied kine spent from the plowing
+                                                            [kine = cows]
+
+Spread like wildfire
+
+Squirrel-in-the-cage kind of movement
+
+Stamping like a plowman to shuffle off the snow
+
+Stared about like calves in a pen
+
+Steadfast as the soul of truth
+
+Steals lingering like a river smooth
+
+Still as death
+
+Stood like a wave-beaten rock
+
+Straight as a ray of light
+
+Straight as an arrow
+
+Streamed like a meteor through the troubled air
+
+Streamed o'er his memory like a forest flame
+
+Streaming tears, like pearl drops from a flint
+
+Striking with the force of an engine of destruction
+
+Strong as a bison
+
+Style comes, if at all, like the bloom upon fruit,
+or the glow of health upon the cheek
+
+Subtle as jealousy
+
+Sudden a thought came like a full-blown rose, flushing his brow
+
+Sudden sprays of rain, like volleys of sharp arrows,
+rattled gustily against the windows
+
+Suddenly, like death, the truth flashed on them
+
+Sunbeams flashing on the face of things
+like sudden smilings of divine delight
+
+Sunday mornings which seem to put on, like a Sabbath garment,
+an atmosphere of divine quietude
+
+Supple and sweet as a rose in bloom
+
+Sway like blown moths against the rosewhite flame
+
+Sweet as a summer night without a breath
+
+Sweet as music she spoke
+
+Sweet as the rain at noon
+
+Sweet as the smile of a fairy
+
+Swift as a swallow heading south
+
+Swift as lightning
+
+Swift as the panther in triumph
+
+Swifter than the twinkling of an eye
+
+
+T
+
+Talking and thinking became to him like the open page of a monthly magazine
+
+Tall lance-like reeds wave sadly o'er his head
+
+That like a wounded snake drags its slow length along
+
+The anemone that weeps at day-break, like a silly girl before her lover
+
+The army blazed and glowed in the golden sunlight
+like a mosaic of a hundred thousand jewels
+
+The army like a witch's caldron seethed
+
+The beating of her heart was like a drum
+
+The beauty of her quiet life was like a rose in blowing
+
+The billows burst like cannon down the coast
+
+The birds swam the flood of air like tiny ships
+
+The boat cuts its swift way through little waves like molten gold and opal
+
+The boom of the surf grew ever less sonorous,
+like the thunder of a retreating storm
+
+The breast-plate of righteousness
+
+The breathless hours like phantoms stole away
+
+The breeze is as a pleasant tune
+
+The calm white brow as calm as earliest morn
+
+The camp fire reddens like angry skies
+
+The chambers of the house were haunted by an incessant echoing,
+like some dripping cavern
+
+The church swarmed like a hive
+
+The city is all in a turmoil; it boils like a pot of lentils
+
+The clouds that move like spirits o'er the welkin clear   [welkin = sky]
+
+The clustered apples burnt like flame
+
+The colored bulbs swung noon-like from tree and shrub
+
+The crimson close of day
+
+The curl'd moon was like a little feather
+
+The curling wreaths like turbans seem
+
+The dark hours are swept away like crumbling ashes
+
+The dark mass of her hair shook round her like a sea
+
+The dawn is rising from the sea, like a white lady from her bed
+
+The dawn had whitened in the mist like a dead face
+
+The dawn with silver-sandaled feet crept like a frightened girl.
+
+The day stunned me like light upon some wizard way
+
+The day was sweeter than honey and the honey-comb
+
+The day have trampled me like armed men
+
+The dead past flew away over the fens like a flight of wild swans
+
+The deep like one black maelstrom round her whirls
+
+The deepening east like a scarlet poppy burnt
+
+The desolate rocky hills rolled like a solid wave along the horizon
+
+The dome of heaven is like one drop of dew
+
+The dreams of poets come like music heard at evening
+from the depth of some enchanted forest
+
+The eagerness faded from his eyes,
+leaving them cold as a winter sky after sunset
+
+The earth was like a frying-pan, or some such hissing matter
+
+The eternal sea, which like a childless mother,
+still must croon her ancient sorrows to the cold white moon
+
+The evening sky was as green as jade
+
+The excitement had spread through the whole house,
+like a piquant and agreeable odor
+
+The excitement of the thought
+buoyed his high-strung temperament like a tonic
+
+The feathery meadows like a lilac sea
+
+The firm body like a slope of snow
+
+The first whiff of reality dissipated them like smoke
+
+The floor, newly waxed, gleamed in the candle-light like beaten moonbeams
+
+The fragrant clouds of hair, they flowed round him like a snare
+
+The gathering glory of life shone like the dawn
+
+The gesture was all strength and will,
+like the stretching of a sea-bird's wings
+
+The girl's voice rang like a bird-call through his rustling fancies
+
+The glimmer of tall flowers standing
+like pensive moon-worshipers in an ecstasy of prayerless bloom
+
+The guides sniffed, like chamois, the air
+                               [chamois = extremely agile goat antelope]
+
+The heavens are like a scroll unfurled
+
+The hills across the valley were purple as thunder-clouds
+
+The hoofs of the horses rang like the dumb cadence of an old saga
+
+The hours crawled by like years
+
+The hum of the camp sounds like the sea
+
+The hurrying crowds of men gather like clouds
+
+The ideas succeeded each other like a dynasty of kings
+
+The impalpable presence of the new century
+rose like a vast empty house through which
+
+no human feet had walked
+
+The inexorable facts closed in on him
+like prison-warders hand-cuffing a convict
+
+The lake glimmered as still as a mirror
+
+The land of gold seemed to hold him like a spell
+
+The land was like a dream
+
+The level boughs, like bars of iron across the setting sun
+
+The light of London flaring like a dreary dawn
+
+The lights blazed up like day
+
+The lilies were drooping, white, and wan,
+like the head and skin of a dying man
+
+The mellowing hand of time
+
+The melody rose tenderly and lingeringly
+like a haunting perfume of pressed flowers
+
+The Milky Way lay like diamond-dust upon the robe of some great king
+
+The monk's face whitened like sea-foam
+
+The moon drowsed between the trees like a great yellow moth
+
+The moon on the tower slept soft as snow
+
+The moonbeams rest like a pale spotless shroud
+
+The moonlight lay like snow
+
+The moonlight, like a fairy mist, upon the mesa spreads
+
+The mortal coldness of the soul, like death itself comes down
+
+The mountain shadows mingling, lay like pools above the earth
+
+The mountains loomed up dimly, like phantoms through the mist
+
+The music almost died away, then it burst like a pent-up flood
+
+The name that cuts into my soul like a knife
+
+The nervous little train winding its way like a jointed reptile
+
+The new ferns were spread upon the earth like some lacy coverlet
+
+The night like a battle-broken host is driven before
+
+The night yawned like a foul wind
+
+The ocean swelled like an undulating mirror of the bowl of heaven
+
+The old books look somewhat pathetically from the shelves,
+like aged dogs wondering why no one takes them for a walk
+
+The old infamy will pop into daylight
+like a toad out of fissure in the rock
+
+The penalty falls like a thunderbolt from heaven
+
+The phrase was like a spear-thrust
+
+The pine trees waved as waves a woman's hair
+
+The place was like some enchanted town of palaces
+
+The plains to northward change their color
+like the shimmering necks of doves
+
+The poppy burned like a crimson ember
+
+The prime of man has waxed like cedars
+
+The public press would chatter and make odd ambiguous sounds
+like a shipload of monkeys in a storm
+
+The purple heather rolls like dumb thunder
+
+The rainbows flashed like fire
+
+The river shouted as ever its cry of joy over the vitality of life,
+like a spirited boy before the face of inscrutable nature
+
+The roofs with their gables like hoods
+
+The roses lie upon the grass like little shreds of crimson silk
+
+The satire of the word cut like a knife
+
+The scullion with face shining like his pans
+
+The sea reeled round like a wine-vat splashing
+
+The sea-song of the trampling waves is as muffled bells
+
+The sea spread out like a wrinkled marble floor
+
+The sea, that gleamed still, like a myriad-petaled rose
+
+The sea was as untroubled as the turquoise vault which it reflected
+
+The setting of the sun is like a word of peace
+
+The sharp hail rattles against the panes and melts on my cheeks like tears
+
+The ships, like sheeted phantoms coming and going
+
+The silence seemed to crush to earth
+like a great looking-glass and shiver into a million pieces
+
+The silvery morning like a tranquil vision fills the world
+
+The sky burned like a heated opal
+
+The sky gleamed with the hardness and brilliancy of blue enamel
+
+The sky was as a shield
+that caught the stain of blood and battle from the dying sun
+
+The sky was clear and blue, and the air as soft as milk
+
+The sky was like a peach
+
+The sky where stars like lilies white and fair shine through the mists
+
+The solid air around me there heaved like a roaring ocean
+
+The solid mountains gleamed like the unsteady sea
+
+The soul is like a well of water springing up into everlasting life
+
+The sound is like a noon-day gale
+
+The sound is like a silver-fountain that springeth in a golden basin
+
+The sound of a thousand tears, like softly pattering wings
+
+The sound of your running feet that like the sea-hoofs beat
+
+The spear-tongued lightning slipped like a snake
+
+The Spring breaks like a bird
+
+The stacks of corn in brown array, like tattered wigwams on the plain
+
+The stars come down and trembling glow like blossoms on the waves below
+
+The stars lay on the lapis-lazuli sky
+like white flower-petals on still deep water
+                            [lapis-lazuli = opaque to translucent blue,
+                             violet-blue, or greenish-blue gemstone]
+
+The stars pale and silent as a seer
+
+The strange cold sense of aloofness that had numbed her senses
+suddenly gave way like snow melting in the spring
+
+The sudden thought of your face is like a wound when it comes unsought
+
+The sun, like a great dragon, writhes in gold
+
+The sun on the sea-wave lies white as the moon
+
+The surf was like the advancing lines of an unknown enemy
+flinging itself upon the shore
+
+The terrible past lay afar, like a dream left behind in the night
+
+The tide was in the salt-weed, and like a knife it tore
+
+The time, gliding like a dream
+
+The torrent from the hills
+leaped down their rocky stairways like wild steeds
+
+The tree whose plumed boughs are soft as wings of birds
+
+The uproar and contention pierced him like arrows
+
+The veiled future bowed before me like a vision of promise
+
+The velvet grass that is like padding to earth's meager ribs
+
+The villa dips its foot in the lake, smiling at its reflection
+like a bather lingering on the brink
+
+The voice of Fate, crying like some old Bellman through the world
+
+The voice that rang in the night like a bugle call
+
+The warm kindling blood burned her cheeks like the breath of a hot wind
+
+The waves were rolling in, long and lazy, like sea-worn travelers
+
+The whole truth, naked, cold, and fatal as a patriot's blade
+
+The wind all round their ears hissed like a flight of white-winged geese
+
+The wind comes and it draws its length along
+like the genii from the earthen pot
+
+The wine flows like blood
+
+The woman seemed like a thing of stone
+
+The words kept ringing in my ears like the tolling of a bell
+
+The words of the wise fall
+like the tolling of sweet, grave bells upon the soul
+
+The world had vanished like a phantasmagoria
+
+The world is bitter as a tear
+
+The world is in a simmer, like a sea
+
+The world wavers within its circle like a dream
+
+The years stretched before her like some vast blank page
+out to receive the record of her toil
+
+The years vanished like a May snowdrift
+
+The yellow apples glowed like fire
+
+Their glances met like crossed swords
+
+Their joy like sunshine deep and broad falls on my heart
+
+Their minds rested upon the thought,
+as chasing butterflies might rest together on a flower
+
+Their music frightful as the serpent's hiss
+
+Their touch affrights me as a serpent's sting
+
+Then fall unheeded like the faded flower
+
+Then felt I like some watcher of the skies
+
+Then it swelled out to rich and glorious harmonies
+like a full orchestra playing under the sea
+
+Then the lover sighing like furnace
+
+Theories sprouted in his mind like mushrooms
+
+There is an air about you like the air that folds a star
+
+There, like a bird, it sits and sings
+
+There seemed to brood in the air a quiet benevolence
+of a Father watching His myriad children at play
+
+There she soars like a seraph
+
+There she stood straight as a lily on its stem
+
+There slowly rose to sight, a country like a dragon fast asleep
+
+There streamed into the air the sweet smell of crushed grass, as though
+many fields had been pressed between giant's fingers and so had been left
+
+These eyes like stars have led me
+
+These final words snapped like a whip-lash
+
+These thoughts pierced me like thorns
+
+They are as cruel as creeping tigers
+
+They are as white foam on the swept sands
+
+They are as white swans in the dusk, thy white hands
+
+They are painted sharp as death
+
+They broke into pieces and fell on the ground,
+like a silvery, shimmering shower of hail
+
+They dropped like panthers
+
+They fly like spray
+
+They had hands like claws
+
+They had slipped away like visions
+
+They have as many principles as a fish has bones
+
+They have faces like flowers
+
+They hurried down like plovers that have heard the call
+                                                [plovers = wading birds]
+
+They look like rose-buds filled with snow
+
+They seem like swarming flies, the crowd of little men
+
+They seemed like floating flowers
+
+They shine as sweet as simple doves
+
+They stand like solitary mountain forms
+on some hard, perfectly transparent day
+
+They vanished like the shapes that float upon a summer's dream
+
+Thick as wind-blown leaves innumerable
+
+Thickly the flakes drive past, each like a childish ghost
+
+Thine eyes like two twin stars shining
+
+This life is like a bubble blown up in the air
+
+This love that dwells like moonlight in your face
+
+This thought is as death
+
+This tower rose in the sunset like a prayer
+
+Those ancestral themes past which so many generations have slept
+like sea-going winds over pastures
+
+Those death-like eyes, unconscious of the sun
+
+Those eyelids folded like a white rose-leaf
+
+Those eyes like bridal beacons shine
+
+Thou art to me but as a wave of the wild sea
+
+Thou as heaven art fair and young
+
+Thou hadst a voice whose sound was like the sea
+
+Thou must wither like a rose
+
+Thou shalt be as free as mountain winds
+
+Thou wouldst weep tears bitter as blood
+
+Though bright as silver the meridian beams shine
+
+Though thou be black as night
+
+Thoughts vague as the fitful breeze
+
+Three-cornered notes fly about like butterflies
+
+Through the forest, like a fairy dream through some dark mind,
+the ferns in branching beauty stream
+
+Through the moonlit trees, like ghosts of sounds haunting the moonlight,
+stole the faint tinkle of a guitar
+
+Through the riot of his senses, like a silver blaze, ran the legend
+
+Thy beauty like a beast it bites
+
+Thy brown benignant eyes have sudden gleams of gladness and surprise,
+like woodland brooks that cross a sunlit spot
+
+Thy carven columns must have grown by magic, like a dream in stone
+
+Thy favors are but like the wind that kisses everything it meets
+
+Thy heart is light as a leaf of a tree
+
+Thy name burns like a gray and flickering candle flame
+
+Thy name will be as honey on men's lips
+
+Till death like sleep might steal on me
+
+Till he melted like a cloud in the silent summer heaven
+
+Time drops in decay, like a candle burnt out
+
+Time like a pulse shakes fierce
+
+To drag life on, which
+like a heavy chain lengthens behind with many a link of pain
+
+To forsake as the trees drop their leaves in autumn
+
+Toys with smooth trifles like a child at play
+
+Transitory as clouds without substance
+
+Transparent like a shining sun
+
+Tree and shrub altered their values
+and became transmuted to silver sentinels
+
+Trees that spread their forked boughs like a stag's antlers
+
+Trembling like an aspen-leaf
+
+Truths which forever shine as fixed stars
+
+Turning easily and securely as on a perfect axle
+
+
+U
+
+Unbends like a loosened bow
+
+Unbreakable as iron
+
+Unconscious as an oak-tree of its growth
+
+Under the willow-tree glimmered her face
+like a foam-flake drifting over the sea
+
+Unheralded, like some tornado
+loosed out of the brooding hills, it came to pass
+
+Unknown, like a seed in fallow ground, was the germ of a plan
+
+Unmoving as a tombstone
+
+Untameable as flies
+
+Unutterable things pressing on my soul
+like a pent-up storm craving for outlet
+
+Upcast like foam of the effacing tide
+
+Uplifting the soul as on dovelike wings
+
+Uplifting their stony peaks around us
+like the walls and turrets of a gigantic fortress
+
+Urgent as the seas
+
+Uttering wild cries like a creature in pain
+
+
+V
+
+Vague as a dream
+
+Vague thoughts that stream shapelessly through her mind
+like long sad vapors through the twilight sky
+
+Vanish into thin air, like ghosts at the cockcrow
+
+Vanished like snow when comes a thaw
+
+Vanished like vapor before the sun
+
+Vibrations set quivering like harp strings struck by the hand of a master
+
+Vociferous praise following like a noisy wave
+
+
+W
+
+Walking somewhat unsteadily like a blind man feeling his way
+
+Waves glittered and danced on all sides like millions of diamonds
+
+We left her and retraced our steps like faithless hounds
+
+Weak and frail like the vapor of a vale
+
+Wearing their wounds like stars
+
+Weary wind, who wanderest like the world's rejected guest
+
+When a draft might puff them out like a guttering candle
+      [guttering = To melt through the side of the hollow in a candle
+       formed by a burning wick; to burn low and unsteadily; flicker]
+
+When arm in arm they both came swiftly running,
+like a pair of turtle-doves that could not live asunder day or night
+
+When cards, invitations, and three-corn'd notes
+fly about like white butterflies
+
+When she died, her breath whistled like the wind in a keyhole
+
+When the fever pierced me like a knife
+
+Where a lamp of deathless beauty shines like a beacon
+
+Where heroes die as leaves fall
+
+Where the intricate wheels of trade are grinding on, like a mill
+
+Where the source of the waters is fine as a thread
+
+Whilst the lagging hours of the day went by
+like windless clouds o'er a tender sky
+
+Whistled sharply in the air like a handful of vipers
+
+White as a ghost from darkness
+
+White as chalk
+
+White as dove or lily, or spirit of the light
+
+White as the driven snow
+
+White as the moon's white flame
+
+White as the sea-bird's wing
+
+White clouds like daisies
+
+White hands she moves like swimming swans
+
+White hands through her hair,
+like white doves going into the shadow of a wood
+
+White like flame
+
+White sails of sloops like specters
+
+Whose bodies are as strong as alabaster
+
+Whose hair was as gold raiment on a king
+
+Whose laugh moves like a bat through silent haunted woods
+
+Whose little eyes glow like the sparks of fire
+
+Whose music like a robe of living light reclothed each new-born age
+
+Windy speech which hits all around the mark like a drunken carpenter
+
+Winged like an arrow to its mark
+
+With a sting like a scorpion
+
+With all the complacency of a homeless cat
+
+With an angry broken roar, like billows on an unseen shore, their fury burst
+
+With hate darkling as the swift winter hail
+
+With music sweet as love
+
+With sounds like breakers
+
+With strength like steel
+
+With the whisper of leaves in one's ear
+
+With words like honey melting from the comb
+
+Wits as sharp as gimlets     [gimlet = small hand tool for boring holes]
+
+Women with tongues like polar needles

+Your blood is red like wine

+SECTION IX
+
+CONVERSATIONAL PHRASES
+
+
+A
+
+A most extraordinary idea!
+
+A thousand hopes for your success
+
+Accept my best wishes
+
+All that is conjecture
+
+Allow me to congratulate you
+
+An unfortunate comparison, don't you think?
+
+And even if it were so?
+
+And how am I to thank you?
+
+And in the end, what are you going to make of it?
+
+And yet the explanation does not wholly satisfy me
+
+Apparently I was wrong
+
+Are we wandering from the point?
+
+Are you a trifle--bored?
+
+Are you fully reconciled?
+
+Are you not complicating the question?
+
+Are you prepared to go to that length?
+
+Are you still obdurate?
+           [obdurate = Hardened in wrongdoing; stubbornly impenitent]
+
+As it happens, your conjecture is right
+
+Assuredly I do
+
+At first blush it may seem fantastic
+
+
+B
+
+Banish such thoughts
+
+But are you not taking a slightly one-sided point of view?
+
+But consider for a moment
+
+But I look at the practical side
+
+But I wander from my point
+
+But now I'll confide something to you
+
+But perhaps I'm hardly fair when I say that
+
+But seriously speaking, what is the use of it?
+
+But surely that is inconsistent
+
+But that's a tremendous hazard
+
+But the thing is simply impossible
+
+But there's one thing you haven't said
+
+But, wait, you haven't heard the end
+
+But what do you yourself think about it?
+
+But who could foresee what was going to happen?
+
+But you are open to persuasion?
+
+But you do not know for certain
+
+But you must tell me more
+
+By a curious chance, I know it very well
+
+By no means desirable, I think
+
+
+C
+
+Can I persuade you?
+
+Can you imagine anything so horrible?
+
+Certain circumstances make it undesirable
+
+Certainly not, if it displeases you
+
+Certainly, with the greatest pleasure
+
+Come, where's your sense of humor?
+
+Consult me when you want me--at any time
+
+
+D
+
+Decidedly so
+
+Dine with me to-morrow night?--if you are free?
+
+Do I presume too much?
+
+Do I seem very ungenerous?
+
+Do not misunderstand me
+
+Do not the circumstances justify it?
+
+Don't be so dismal, please
+
+Don't delude yourself
+
+Don't let me encroach on your good nature
+
+Don't think I am unappreciative of your kindness
+
+Do you attach any particular meaning to that?
+
+Do you know, I envy you that
+
+Do you know what his chief interests are now?
+
+Do you mind my making a suggestion?
+
+Do you press me to tell?
+
+Do you really regard him as a serious antagonist?
+
+Do you think there is anything ominous in it?
+
+Does it please you so tremendously?
+
+Does it seem incredible?
+
+
+E
+
+Either way is perplexing
+
+Eminently proper, I think
+
+Everyone looks at it differently
+
+Excuse my bluntness
+
+
+F
+
+Fanciful, I should say
+
+For the simplest of reasons
+
+Forgive me if I seem disobliging
+
+Fortunate, to say the least
+
+Frankly, I don't see why it should
+
+Frugal to a degree
+
+Fulsome praise, I call it
+
+
+G
+
+Give me your sympathy and counsel
+
+Glorious to contemplate
+
+Good! that is at least something
+
+Gratifying, I am sure
+
+
+H
+
+Happily there are exceptions to every rule
+
+Has it really come to that?
+
+Have I incurred your displeasure?
+
+Have you any rooted objection to it?
+
+Have you anything definite in your mind?
+
+Have you reflected what the consequences might be to yourself?
+
+He does me too much honor
+
+He feels it acutely
+
+He has a queer conception of the proprieties
+
+He is a poor dissembler   [dissemble = conceal behind a false appearance]
+
+He is anything but obtuse
+
+He is so ludicrously wrong
+
+He is the most guileless of men
+
+He was so extremely susceptible
+
+He writes uncommonly clever letters
+
+Heaven forbid that I should wound your sensibility
+
+His sense of humor is unquenchable
+
+How amiable you are to say so
+
+How can I tell you how much I have enjoyed it all?
+
+How can I thank you?
+
+How can you be so unjust?
+
+How delightful to meet you
+
+How does the idea appeal to you?
+
+How droll you are!
+
+How extraordinary!
+
+How intensely interesting!
+
+How perfectly delightful!
+
+How utterly abominable
+
+How very agreeable this is!
+
+How very interesting
+
+How very surprising
+
+How well you do it!
+
+However, I should like to hear your views
+
+Human nature interests me very much indeed
+
+
+I
+
+I admire your foresight
+
+I admit it most gratefully
+
+I agree--at least, I suppose I do
+
+I agree that something ought to be done
+
+I always welcome criticism so long as it is sincere
+
+I am absolutely bewildered
+
+I am afraid I am not familiar enough with the subject
+
+I am afraid I cannot suggest an alternative
+
+I am afraid I've allowed you to tire yourself
+
+I am afraid I must confess my ignorance
+
+I am afraid you will call me a sentimentalist
+
+I am always glad to do anything to please you
+
+I am anxious to discharge the very onerous debt I owe you
+
+I am appealing to your sense of humor
+
+I am at your service
+
+I am bound to secrecy
+
+I am compelled to, unluckily
+
+I am curious to learn what his motive was
+
+I am deeply flattered and grateful
+
+I am delighted to hear you say so
+
+I am dumb with admiration
+
+I am entirely at your disposal
+
+I am extremely glad you approve of it
+
+I am far from believing the maxim
+
+I am fortunate in being able to do you a service
+
+I am glad to be able to think that
+
+I am glad to have had this talk with you
+
+I am glad to say that I have entirely lost that faculty
+
+I am glad you can see it in that way
+
+I am glad you feel so deeply about it
+
+I am giving you well-deserved praise
+
+I am going to make a confession
+
+I am grateful for your good opinion
+
+I am honestly indignant
+
+I am, I confess, a little discouraged
+
+I am in a chastened mood
+
+I am inclined to agree with you
+
+I am incredulous
+
+I am indebted to you for the suggestion
+
+I am listening--I was about to propose
+
+I am lost in admiration
+
+I am luckily disengaged to-day
+
+I am more grieved than I can tell you
+
+I am naturally overjoyed
+
+I am not a person of prejudices
+
+I am not an alarmist
+
+I am not as unreasonable as you suppose
+
+I am not at all in the secret of his ambitions
+
+I am not capable of unraveling it
+
+I am not going into sordid details
+
+I am not going to let you evade the question
+
+I am not going to pay you any idle compliments
+
+I am not impervious to the obligations involved
+
+I am not in sympathy with it
+
+I am not in the least surprised
+
+I am not inquisitive
+
+I am not prepared to say
+
+I am not sure that I can manage it
+
+I am not vindictive
+
+I am overjoyed to hear you say so
+
+I am perfectly aware of what I am saying
+
+I am persuaded by your candor
+
+I am quite convinced of that
+
+I am quite discomfited
+
+I am quite interested to see what you will do
+
+I am quite ready to be convinced
+
+I am rather of the opinion that I was mistaken
+
+I am ready to make great allowances
+
+I am really afraid I don't know
+
+I am really gregarious
+
+I am sensible of the flattery
+
+I am seriously annoyed with myself about it
+
+I am so glad you think that
+
+I am so sorry--so very sorry
+
+I am sorry to disillusionize you
+
+I am sorry to interrupt this interesting discussion
+
+I am sorry to say it is impossible
+
+I am speaking plainly
+
+I am still a little of an idealist
+
+I am suppressing many of the details
+
+I am sure it sounds very strange to you
+
+I am sure you could pay me no higher compliment
+
+I am  sure you will hear me out
+
+I am surprised, I confess
+
+I am sustained by the prospect of a good dinner
+
+I am vastly obliged to you
+
+I am vastly your debtor for the information
+
+I am very far from being a fanatic
+
+I am very glad of this opportunity
+
+I am very grateful--very much flattered
+
+I am wholly in agreement with you
+
+I am willing to accept all the consequences
+
+I am wonderfully well
+
+I am wondering if I may dare ask you a very personal question?
+
+I am your creditor unawares
+
+I anticipate your argument
+
+I appreciate your motives
+
+I assure you it is most painful to me
+
+I assure you my knowledge of it is limited
+
+I bear no malice about that
+
+I beg your indulgence
+
+I beg your pardon, but you take it too seriously
+
+I brazenly confess it
+
+I can easily understand your astonishment
+
+I can explain the apparent contradiction
+
+I can find no satisfaction in it
+
+I can hardly agree with you there
+
+I can never be sufficiently grateful
+
+I can only tell you the bare facts
+
+I can scarcely accept the offer
+
+I can scarcely boast that honor
+
+I can scarcely imagine anything more disagreeable
+
+I can sympathize with you
+
+I cannot altogether acquit myself of interested motives
+
+I cannot explain it even to myself
+
+I cannot find much real satisfaction in it
+
+I cannot forbear to press my advantage
+
+I cannot imagine what you mean
+
+I cannot precisely determine
+
+I can't pretend to make a jest of what I'm going to say
+
+I cannot say definitely at the moment
+
+I cannot say that in fact it is always so
+
+I cannot see how you draw that conclusion
+
+I cannot thank you enough for all your consideration
+
+I compliment you on your good sense
+
+I confess, I find it difficult
+
+I could ask for nothing better
+
+I could never forgive myself for that
+
+I dare say your intuition is quite right
+
+I decline to commit myself beforehand
+
+I detest exaggeration
+
+I didn't mean that--exactly
+
+I do not comprehend your meaning
+
+I don't deny that it is interesting
+
+I don't doubt it for a moment
+
+I do not doubt the sincerity of your arguments
+
+I do not exactly understand you
+
+I do not feel sure that I entirely share your views
+
+I don't feel that it is my business
+
+I do not find it an unpleasant subject
+
+I don't insist on your believing me
+
+I don't justify my presumption
+
+I don't know quite why you should say that
+
+I don't know that I can do that
+
+I don't know when I have heard anything so lamentable
+
+I don't know why you should be displeased
+
+I don't make myself clear, I see
+
+I don't pretend to explain
+
+I don't see anything particularly wonderful in it
+
+I don't underrate his kindness
+
+I don't want to disguise that from you
+
+I don't want to exaggerate
+
+I don't want to seem critical
+
+I doubt the truth of that saying
+
+I endorse it, every word
+
+I entirely approve of your plan
+
+I fancy it's just that
+
+I fear I cannot help you
+
+I fear that's too technical for me
+
+I feel a certain apprehension
+
+I feel an unwonted sense of gaiety         [unwonted = unusual]
+
+I feel it my duty to be frank with you
+
+I feel myself scarcely competent to judge
+
+I feel very grateful to you for your kind offer
+
+I find it absorbing
+
+I find it rather monotonous
+
+I find this agreeable mental exhilaration
+
+I frankly confess that
+
+I generally trust my first impressions
+
+I give my word gladly
+
+I give you my most sacred word of honor
+
+I had better begin at the beginning
+
+I had no intention of being offensive
+
+I hadn't thought of it in that light
+
+I hardly think that could be so
+
+I have a hundred reasons for thinking so
+
+I have a peculiar affection for it
+
+I have an immense faith in him
+
+I have been constrained by circumstances
+
+I have been decidedly impressed
+
+I have been longing to see more of you
+
+I have been puzzling over a dilemma
+
+I have every reason to think so
+
+I have given you the best proof of it
+
+I have gone back to my first impressions
+
+I have known striking instances of the kind
+
+I have never heard it put so well
+
+I have no delusions on that score
+
+I have not succeeded in convincing myself of that
+
+I have not the influence you think
+
+I have not the least doubt of it
+
+I haven't the remotest idea
+
+I have often a difficulty in deciding
+
+I have often marveled at your courage
+
+I have quite changed my opinion about that
+
+I have something of great importance to say to you
+
+I have sometimes vaguely felt it
+
+I have the strongest possible prejudice against it
+
+I heartily congratulate you
+
+I hope it will not seem unreasonable to you
+
+I hope we may meet again
+
+I hope you will forgive an intruder
+
+I hope you will not think me irreverent
+
+I hope you will pardon my seeming carelessness
+
+I indulge the modest hope
+
+I know it is very presumptuous
+
+I know my request will appear singular
+
+I like it immensely
+
+I like your frankness
+
+I make no reflection whatever
+
+I mean it literally
+
+I might question all that
+
+I mistrust these wild impulses
+
+I most certainly agree with you
+
+I most humbly ask pardon
+
+I must add my congratulations on your taste
+
+I must apologize for intruding upon you
+
+I must ask you one more question, if I may
+
+I must confess I have never thought of that
+
+I must refrain from any comment
+
+I must respectfully decline to tell you
+
+I must take this opportunity to tell you
+
+I need not remind you that you have a grave responsibility
+
+I never heard anything so absurd
+
+I offer my humblest apologies
+
+I owe the idea wholly to you
+
+I partly agree with you
+
+I personally owe you a great debt of thankfulness
+
+I place myself entirely at your service
+
+I place the most implicit reliance on your good sense
+
+I prefer to reserve my judgment
+
+I purposely evaded the question
+
+I quite appreciate the very clever way you put it
+
+I quite see what the advantages are
+
+I really am curious to know how you guessed that
+
+I realize how painful it must be to you
+
+I recollect it clearly
+
+I rely on your good sense
+
+I remember the occasion perfectly
+
+I resent that kind of thing
+
+I respect you for that
+
+I respect your critical faculty
+
+I say it in all modesty
+
+I see disapproval in your face
+
+I see it from a different angle
+
+I see you are an enthusiast
+
+I see your point of view
+
+I seem to have heard that sentiment before
+
+I shall at once proceed to forget it
+
+I shall await your pleasure
+
+I shall be glad if you will join me
+
+I shall be interested to watch it develop
+
+I shall be most proud and pleased
+
+I shall certainly take you at your word
+
+I shall feel highly honored
+
+I shall make a point of thinking so
+
+I shall never forget your kindness
+
+I shall respect your confidence
+
+I should appreciate your confidence greatly
+
+I should be very ungrateful were I not satisfied with it
+
+I should feel unhappy if I did otherwise
+
+I should like your opinion of it
+
+I should not dream of asking you to do so
+
+I should think it very unlikely
+
+I simply cannot endure it
+
+I spoke only in jest
+
+I stand corrected
+
+I suppose I ought to feel flattered
+
+I surmised as much
+
+I sympathize deeply with you
+
+I take that for granted
+
+I think extremely well of it
+
+I think he has very noble ideals
+
+I think I can answer that for you
+
+I think I know what you are going to say
+
+I think it has its charm
+
+I think it is superb!
+
+I think it quite admirable
+
+I think its tone is remarkably temperate
+
+I think that is rather a brilliant idea
+
+I think what you say is reasonable
+
+I think you are quibbling
+
+I think you are rather severe in your opinions
+
+I think you have great appreciation of values
+
+I think you have summed it up perfectly
+
+I think your candor is charming
+
+I thoroughly agree with you
+
+I thought it most amusing
+
+I thought you were seriously indisposed
+
+I trust you will not consider it an impertinence
+
+I understand exactly how you feel about it
+
+I understand your delicacy of feeling
+
+I venture to propose another plan
+
+I very rarely allow myself that pleasure
+
+I want to have a frank understanding with you
+
+I was at a loss to understand the reason for it
+
+I was hoping that I could persuade you
+
+I was on the point of asking you
+
+I was speaking generally
+
+I watched you with admiration
+
+I will answer you frankly
+
+I will listen to no protestations
+
+I will take it only under compulsion
+
+I will tell you what puzzles me
+
+I will think of it, since you wish it
+
+I will, with great pleasure
+
+I wish I could explain my point more fully
+
+I wish I knew what you meant by that
+
+I wish to be perfectly fair
+
+I wish to put things as plainly as possible
+
+I wonder how much truth there is in it?
+
+I wonder if you have the smallest recollection of me?
+
+I would agree if I understood
+
+I wouldn't put it just that way
+
+If ever I can repay it, command me
+
+If I mistake not you were there once?
+
+If I speak strongly, it is because I feel strongly
+
+If I were disposed to offer counsel
+
+If I were sure you would not misunderstand my meaning
+
+If you don't mind my saying so
+
+If you insist upon it
+
+If you will pardon me the frankness
+
+In a manner that sometimes terrifies me
+
+In one respect you are quite right
+
+In that case let me rob you of a few minutes
+
+In what case, for example?
+
+Incredible as it sounds, I had for a moment forgotten
+
+Indeed, but it is quite possible
+
+Indeed! How?
+
+Indeed, you are wholly wrong
+
+Indifferently so, I am afraid
+
+Irony was ten thousand leagues from my intention
+
+Is it sane--is it reasonable?
+
+Isn't it amazing?
+
+Isn't it extraordinarily funny?
+
+Isn't it preposterous?
+
+Isn't that a trifle unreasonable?
+
+Isn't that rather a hasty conclusion?
+
+Is that a fair question?
+
+It always seemed to me impossible
+
+It amuses you, doesn't it?
+
+It blunts the sensibilities
+
+It could never conceivably be anything but popular
+
+It depends on how you look at it
+
+It depends upon circumstances
+
+It doesn't sound plausible to me
+
+It has a lovely situation as I remember it
+
+It has amused me hugely
+
+It has been a relief to talk to you
+
+It has been an immense privilege to see you
+
+It has never occurred to me
+
+It is a curious fact
+
+It is a great pleasure to meet you
+
+It is a huge undertaking
+
+It is a most unfortunate affair
+
+It is a perfectly plain proposition
+
+It is a rather melancholy thought
+
+It is a truth universally acknowledged
+
+It is all very inexcusable
+
+It is all very well for you to be philosophical
+
+It is altogether probable
+
+It is an admirable way of putting it
+
+It is an error of taste
+
+It is an extreme case, but the principle is sound
+
+It is an ingenious theory
+
+It is an uncommonly fine description
+
+It is extremely interesting, I can assure you
+
+It is for you to decide
+
+It is historically true
+
+It is I who should ask forgiveness
+
+It is incredible!
+
+It is indeed generous of you to suggest it
+
+It is inexplicable
+
+It is interesting, as a theory
+
+It is literally impossible
+
+It is merely a mood
+
+It is most unfortunate
+
+It is my deliberately formed opinion
+
+It is my opinion you are too conscientious
+
+It is nevertheless true
+
+It is not a matter of the slightest consequence
+
+It is not always fair to judge by appearances
+
+It is not so unreasonable as you think
+
+It is often very misleading
+
+It is one of the grave problems of the day
+
+It is only a fancy of mine
+
+It is perfectly defensible
+
+It is perfectly trite
+
+It is permissible to gratify such an impulse
+
+It is possible, but I rather doubt it
+
+It is quite an easy matter
+
+It is quite conceivable
+
+It is quite too absurd
+
+It is rather startling
+
+It is really impressive
+
+It is really most callous of you to laugh
+
+It is sheer madness
+
+It is sickening and so insufferably arrogant
+
+It is simply a coincidence
+
+It is the most incomprehensible thing in the world
+
+It is to you that I am indebted for all this
+
+It is true, I am grieved to say
+
+It is true none the less
+
+It is very amusing
+
+It is very far from being a fiction
+
+It is very good of you to do this for my pleasure
+
+It is very ingenious
+
+It is very splendid of you
+
+It is wanton capriciousness
+
+It is your privilege to think so
+
+It's a difficult and delicate matter to discuss
+
+It's a matter of immediate urgency
+
+It's absolute folly
+
+It's absurd--it's impossible
+
+It's all nonsense
+
+It's as logical as it can be under the circumstances
+
+It's been a strange experience for you
+
+It's deliciously honest
+
+It's going to be rather troublesome
+
+It's inconceivable that it should ever be necessary
+
+It's mere pride of opinion
+
+It's my chief form of recreation
+
+It's not a matter of vast importance
+
+It's past my comprehension
+
+It's quite wonderful how logical and simple you make it
+
+It's really very perplexing
+
+It's so charming of you to say that
+
+It's so kind of you to come
+
+It's such a bore having to talk about it
+
+It's the natural sequence
+
+It's too melancholy
+
+It's very wonderful
+
+It makes it all quite interesting
+
+It may sound strange to you
+
+It must be a trifle dull at times
+
+It must be fascinating
+
+It must be very gratifying to you
+
+It must have been rather embarrassing
+
+It seems an age since we've last seen you
+
+It seems entirely wonderful to me
+
+It seems incredible
+
+It seems like a distracting dream
+
+It seems preposterous
+
+It seems the height of absurdity
+
+It seems to me that you have a perfect right to do so
+
+It seems unspeakably funny to me
+
+It seems very ridiculous
+
+It shall be as you wish
+
+It should not be objectionable
+
+It sounds plausible
+
+It sounds profoundly interesting
+
+It sounds rather appalling
+
+It sounds very alluring
+
+It strikes me as rather pathetic
+
+It was an unpardonable liberty
+
+It was inevitable that you should say that
+
+It was most stupid of me to have forgotten it
+
+It was not unkindly meant
+
+It was peculiarly unfortunate
+
+It was really an extraordinary experience
+
+It was so incredible
+
+It was the most amazing thing I ever heard
+
+It was very good of you to come out and join us
+
+It will create a considerable sensation
+
+It will divert your thoughts from a mournful subject
+
+It will give me pleasure to do it
+
+It will not alter my determination
+
+It would be ill-advised
+
+It would interest me very much
+
+It would seem to be a wise decision
+
+It would take too long to formulate my thought
+
+
+J
+
+Join us, please, when you have time
+
+Just trust to the inspiration of the moment
+
+Justify it if you can
+
+
+L
+
+Let me persuade you
+
+Let me say how deeply indebted I feel for your kindness
+
+Let me speak frankly
+
+Let us grant that for the sake of the argument
+
+Let us take a concrete instance
+
+
+M
+
+Many thanks--how kind and good you are!
+
+May I ask to whom you allude?
+
+May I be privileged to hear it?
+
+May I speak freely?
+
+May I venture to ask what inference you would draw from that?
+
+Might I suggest an alternative?
+
+Most dangerous!
+
+My attitude would be one of disapproval
+
+My confidence in you is absolute
+
+My idea of it is quite the reverse
+
+My information is rather scanty
+
+My meaning is quite the contrary
+
+My point of view is different, but I shall not insist upon it
+
+My views are altered in many respects
+
+
+N
+
+No, I am speaking seriously
+
+No, I don't understand it
+
+Not at all
+
+Not to my knowledge
+
+Nothing could be more delightful
+
+Now is it very plain to you?
+
+Now you are flippant
+
+
+O
+
+Obviously the matter is settled
+
+Of course, but that again isn't the point
+
+Of course I am delighted
+
+Of course I don't want to press you against your will
+
+Of course you will do what you think best
+
+Oh, certainly, if you wish it
+
+Oh, do not form an erroneous impression
+
+Oh, I appreciate that in you!
+
+Oh, that's mere quibbling
+
+Oh, that's splendid of you!
+
+Oh, that was a manner of speaking
+
+Oh, yes, I quite admit that
+
+Oh, yes, you may take that for granted
+
+Oh, you are very bitter
+
+Oh, you may be as scornful as you like
+
+On the contrary, I agree with you thoroughly
+
+On the face of it, it sounds reasonable
+
+One assumption you make I should like to contest
+
+One has no choice to endure it
+
+One must be indulgent under the circumstances
+
+One thing I beg of you
+
+
+P
+
+Pardon me, but I don't think so
+
+Pardon me, I meant something different
+
+Perhaps I am indiscreet
+
+Perhaps not in the strictest sense
+
+Perhaps you do not feel at liberty to do so
+
+Perhaps you think me ungrateful
+
+Personally I confess to an objection
+
+Please continue to be frank
+
+Please do not think I am asking out of mere curiosity
+
+Please forgive my thoughtlessness
+
+Please make yourself at home
+
+Pray don't apologize
+
+Pray forgive me for intruding on you so unceremoniously
+
+Pray go on!
+
+Precisely, that is just what I meant
+
+Put in that way it certainly sounds very well
+
+
+Q
+
+Question me, if you wish
+
+Quibbling, I call it
+
+Quite so
+
+Quite the wisest thing you can do
+
+
+R
+
+Rather loquacious, I think        [loquacious = very talkative]
+
+Reading between the lines
+
+Really? I should have thought otherwise
+
+Really--you must go?
+
+Reassure me, if you can
+
+Reflect upon the possible consequences
+
+Relatively speaking
+
+Reluctantly I admit it
+
+Reverting to another matter
+
+
+S
+
+Shall we have a compact?
+
+She has an extraordinary gift of conversation
+
+She is easily prejudiced
+
+She seems uncommonly appreciative
+
+She will be immensely surprised
+
+Show me that the two cases are analogous
+
+So far so good
+
+So I inferred
+
+So much the better for me
+
+So you observe the transformation?
+
+Something amuses you
+
+Sometimes the absurdity of it occurs to me
+
+Speaking with all due respect
+
+Still, you might make an exception
+
+Strangely it's true
+
+Such conduct seems to me unjustifiable
+
+Surely there can be no question about that
+
+Surely we can speak frankly
+
+Surely you sound too harsh a note
+
+Surely you would not countenance that
+
+
+T
+
+Tell me in what way you want me to help you
+
+Thank you for telling me that
+
+Thank you for your good intentions
+
+That, at least, you will agree to
+
+That depends on one's point of view
+
+That doesn't sound very logical
+
+That is a counsel of perfection
+
+That is a fair question, perhaps
+
+That is a question I have often proposed to myself
+
+That is a stroke of good fortune
+
+That is a superb piece of work
+
+That is a very practical explanation
+
+That is admirably clear
+
+That is certainly ideal
+
+That is eminently proper
+
+That is hardly consistent
+
+That is inconceivable
+
+That is just like you, if you will forgive me for saying so
+
+That is most fortunate
+
+That is most kind of you
+
+That is most unexpected and distressing
+
+That is not fair--to me
+
+That is not to be lightly spoken of
+
+That is precisely what I mean
+
+That is quite true, theoretically
+
+That is rather a difficult question to answer
+
+That is rather a strange request to make
+
+That is rather awkward
+
+That is really good of you
+
+That is the prevailing idea
+
+That is tragic
+
+That is true and I think you are right
+
+That is very amiable in you
+
+That is very curious
+
+That is very felicitous
+
+That is very gracious
+
+That is what I call intelligent criticism
+
+That is what I meant to tell you
+
+That is a humiliating thought
+
+That is a most interesting idea
+
+That is such a hideous idea
+
+That is the most incredible part of it
+
+That might involve you in life-long self-reproach
+
+That must be exceedingly tiresome
+
+That ought to make you a little lenient
+
+That reassures me
+
+That shows the infirmity of his judgment
+
+That theory isn't tenable
+
+That was exceedingly generous
+
+That was intended ironically
+
+That was very thoughtful of you
+
+That was very well reasoned
+
+That will blast your chances, I am afraid
+
+That will suit me excellently
+
+That would be somewhat serious
+
+That would be very discreditable
+
+The agreement seems to be ideal
+
+The idea is monstrous
+
+The inference is obvious
+
+The notion is rather new to me
+
+The pleasure is certainly not all on your side
+
+The reason is not so far to seek
+
+The same problem has perplexed me
+
+The sentiment is worthy of you
+
+The simplest thing in the world
+
+The situation is uncommonly delicate
+
+The story seems to me incredible
+
+The subject is extremely interesting
+
+The tone of it was certainly hostile
+
+The very obvious moral is this
+
+The whole thing is an idle fancy
+
+Then I have your permission?
+
+Then you're really not disinclined?
+
+Then you merely want to ask my advice?
+
+There are endless difficulties
+
+There are reasons which make such a course impossible
+
+There is a good deal of sense in that
+
+There is a grain of truth in that, I admit
+
+There is food for reflection in that
+
+There is my hand on it
+
+There is no resisting you
+
+There is nothing I should like so much
+
+There is one inevitable condition
+
+There is something almost terrifying about it
+
+There must be extenuating circumstances
+
+They amuse me immensely
+
+This is a most unexpected pleasure
+
+This is charmingly new to me
+
+This is indeed good fortune
+
+This is really appalling
+
+This is really not a laughing matter
+
+Those are my own private feelings
+
+Those things are not forgotten at once
+
+To me it's simply outrageous
+
+To speak frankly, I do not like it
+
+True, I forgot!
+
+
+U
+
+Undeniably true
+
+Unfortunately I must decline the proposal
+
+Unlikely to be so
+
+Unquestionably superior
+
+Unwholesome influence, I would say
+
+
+V
+
+Very good, I'll do so
+
+Very well, I will consent
+
+Vivacity is her greatest charm
+
+Virtually accomplished, I believe
+
+Vouch for its truth
+
+
+W
+
+We are all more or less susceptible
+
+We are drifting away from our point
+
+We are impervious to certain rules
+
+We are merely wasting energy in this duel
+
+We can safely take it for granted
+
+We couldn't have a better topic
+
+We had better agree to differ
+
+We have had some conclusions in common
+
+We must judge it leniently
+
+We must not expose ourselves to misinterpretation
+
+We owe you a debt of gratitude
+
+We shall be glad to see you, if you care to come
+
+We will devoutly hope not
+
+Well, as a matter of fact, I have forgotten
+
+Well done! I congratulate you
+
+Well, I'm not going to argue that
+
+Well, I call it scandalous
+
+Well, I confess they don't appeal to me
+
+Well, more's the pity
+
+Well, perhaps it is none of my affair
+
+Well, that is certainly ideal!
+
+Well, this is good fortune
+
+Well, yes--in a way
+
+Well, you are a dreamer!
+
+What a beautiful idea
+
+What a charming place you have here
+
+What a curious coincidence!
+
+What a pretty compliment!
+
+What a tempting prospect!
+
+What an extraordinary idea!
+
+What are your misgivings?
+
+What can you possibly mean?
+
+What conceivable reason is there for it?
+
+What do you imagine my course should be?
+
+What do you propose?
+
+What is the next step in your argument?
+
+What is there so strange about that?
+
+What, may I ask, is your immediate object?
+
+What unseemly levity on his part
+
+What very kind things you say to me
+
+What would you expect me to do?
+
+What you have just said is even truer than you realize
+
+What you propose is utterly impossible
+
+Who is your sagacious adviser?       [sagacious = sound judgment, wise]
+
+Why ask such embarrassing questions?
+
+Why did you desert us so entirely?
+
+Why do you take it so seriously?
+
+Will you allow me to ask you a question?
+
+Will you be more explicit?
+
+Will you have the kindness to explain?
+
+Will you pardon my curiosity?
+
+Will you permit me a brief explanation?
+
+Would you apply that to everyone?
+
+Would you mind telling me your opinion?
+
+
+Y
+
+Yes and no
+
+Yes, but that is just what I fail to comprehend
+
+Yes, I dare say
+
+Yes, if you will be so good
+
+Yes, it was extraordinarily fine
+
+Yes, that is my earnest wish
+
+Yes, that's undeniable
+
+Yes? You were saying?
+
+You agree with me, I know
+
+You are a profound philosopher
+
+You are a severe critic
+
+You are delightfully frank
+
+You are greatly to be envied
+
+You are heartily welcome
+
+You are incomprehensible
+
+You are incorrigible
+
+You are kind and comforting
+
+You are most kind
+
+You are not consistent
+
+You are not serious, I hope
+
+You are not seriously displeased with me?
+
+You are quite delightful
+
+You are rather puzzling to-day
+
+You are right to remind me of that
+
+You are unduly distressing yourself
+
+You are very complimentary
+
+You are very gracious
+
+You're so tremendously kind about it
+
+You're succeeding admirably
+
+You're taking it all much too seriously
+
+You're talking nonsense!
+
+You're very good, I'm sure
+
+You ask me--but I shouldn't wonder if you knew better than I do
+
+You astonish me greatly
+
+You behaved with great forbearance
+
+You can hardly be serious
+
+You cannot regret it more than I do
+
+You could not pay me a higher compliment
+
+You did it excellently
+
+You did not clearly understand what I meant
+
+You don't seem very enthusiastic
+
+You excite my curiosity
+
+You flatter my judgment
+
+You have a genius for saying the right thing
+
+You have asked me a riddle
+
+You have asked the impossible
+
+You have been wrongly informed
+
+You have done me a great service
+
+You have had a pleasant time, I hope
+
+You have my deepest sympathy
+
+You have my unbounded confidence
+
+You have received a false impression
+
+You have such an interesting way of putting things
+
+You interest me deeply
+
+You judge yourself too severely
+
+You know I'm in an agony of curiosity
+
+You know I'm not given to sentimentality
+
+You know the familiar axiom
+
+You leave no alternative
+
+You look incredulous
+
+You may be sure of my confidence
+
+You may rely on me absolutely
+
+You might make an exception
+
+You must have misunderstood me
+
+You must not fail to command me
+
+You overwhelm me with your kindness
+
+You really insist upon it?
+
+You rebuke me very fairly
+
+You say that as though you were surprised
+
+You see how widely we differ
+
+You see, it's all very vague
+
+You see things rose-colored
+
+You seem to be in a happy mood
+
+You seem to take a very mild interest in what I propose
+
+You shock me more than I can say
+
+You speak in enigmas
+
+You speak with authority
+
+You surely understand my position
+
+You take a great deal for granted
+
+You take a pessimistic view of things
+
+You take me quite by surprise
+
+You will admit I have some provocation
+
+You will become morbid if you are not careful
+
+You will have ample opportunity
+
+You will, of course, remember the incident
+
+You will please not be flippant
+
+You will understand my anxiety
+
+Your argument is facile and superficial
+
+Your consideration is entirely misplaced
+
+Your judgments are very sound
+
+Your logic is as clever as possible
+
+Your opinion will be invaluable to me
+
+Your request is granted before it is made
+
+Your statement is somewhat startling

+PUBLIC SPEAKING PHRASES
+
+
+A
+
+A fact of vast moment
+
+A few words will suffice to answer
+
+A further objection is
+
+A great many people have said
+
+A little indulgence may be due to those
+
+A majority of us believe
+
+A man in my situation has
+
+A more plausible objection is found
+
+A proof of this is
+
+A servile mind can never know
+
+A short time since
+
+A specific answer can be given
+
+A thought occurred to me
+
+Able men have reasoned out
+
+Above all things, let us not forget
+
+Absolutely true it is
+
+Abundant reason is there
+
+Accordingly by reason of this circumstance
+
+Add this instance to
+
+After a careful study of all the evidence
+
+After full deliberation
+
+After reminding the hearer
+
+After this it remains only to say
+
+Again, can we doubt
+
+Again, I ask the gentleman
+
+Again, in this view
+
+Again, it is quite clear that
+
+Again, it is urged
+
+Again, let us compare
+
+Again, very numerous are the cases
+
+Again, we have abundant instances
+
+Against all this concurring testimony
+
+All confess this to be true
+
+All I ask is
+
+All of us know
+
+All that I will say now
+
+All the facts which support this
+
+All the signs of the time indicate
+
+All these things you know
+
+All this being considered
+
+All this is historical fact
+
+All this is very well
+
+All this suggests
+
+All this we take for granted
+
+Allow me for a moment to turn to
+
+Allow me to tell a story
+
+Altho I say it to myself
+
+Amazing as it may seem
+
+Am I mistaken in this
+
+Among many examples
+
+Among the distinguished guests who honor
+
+Among the problems that confront us
+
+An answer to this is now ready
+
+An argument has often been put forward
+
+An example or two will illustrate
+
+An indescribably touching incident
+
+An opinion has now become established
+
+And again, it is said
+
+And again, it is to be presumed
+
+And coming nearer to our own day
+
+And did a man try to persuade me
+
+And do you really think
+
+And everybody here knows
+
+And for myself, as I said
+
+And further, all that I have said
+
+And hence the well-known doctrine
+
+And here again, when I speak
+
+And here allow me to call your attention
+
+And here I am led to observe
+
+And here I come to the closing evidence
+
+And here I have an opportunity
+
+And here I reproach
+
+And here I wish you to observe
+
+And here let me define my position
+
+And here let me give my explanation
+
+And here let us recall to mind
+
+And how is it possible to imagine
+
+And I am bound to say
+
+And I beg of you
+
+And I call on you
+
+And I might say this
+
+And I refuse assent
+
+And I rejoice to know
+
+And I say, it were better for you
+
+And I should in like manner repudiate
+
+And I speak with reverence
+
+And I submit to you
+
+And I trust that you will consider
+
+And I will make a practical suggestion
+
+And I will tell you why
+
+And I would, moreover submit
+
+And if a man could anywhere be found
+
+And if any of you should question
+
+And if I know anything of my countrymen
+
+And if I may presume to speak
+
+And if I take another instance
+
+And if this be true
+
+And if you come to a decision
+
+And if you think it your duty
+
+And in conclusion
+
+And in like manner
+
+And in order to see this
+
+And in thus speaking, I am not denying
+
+And is not this lamentable
+
+And is there not a presumption
+
+And it happens
+
+And it is certainly true
+
+And it is doubtful if
+
+And it is not difficult to see
+
+And it is not plain
+
+And it is one of the evidences
+
+And it is precisely in this
+
+And it is strikingly suggested to us
+
+And it is undeniable, I say
+
+And it is well that this should be so
+
+And last of all
+
+And lest anyone should marvel
+
+And let it be observed
+
+And lo! and behold
+
+And more than this
+
+And next I would ask
+
+And now allow me to call attention
+
+And now behold a mystery
+
+And now consider
+
+And now having discussed
+
+And now I beg that I may be permitted
+
+And now I go back to the statement
+
+And now I have completed my review
+
+And now I have said enough to explain
+
+And now I must touch upon one point
+
+And now if I may take for granted
+
+And now it would be very pleasant for me
+
+And now observe how
+
+And now, sir, what I had first to say
+
+And now supposing this point to be settled
+
+And now that I have mentioned
+
+And now the chief points of it
+
+And now the question is asked me
+
+And now, to close, let me give you
+
+And now, to what purpose do I mention
+
+And, of course, you are aware
+
+And of this I am perfectly certain
+
+And quite as difficult is it to create
+
+And right here lies the cause
+
+And, sir, a word
+
+And so, again, as regard
+
+And so I am reminded of a story
+
+And so I leave these words with you
+
+And so I may point out
+
+And so I might recount to you
+
+And so, in the other cases, I have named
+
+And so in the present case
+
+And so on
+
+And so through all phases
+
+And so, upon every hand
+
+And sometimes it will be difficult
+
+And that gave another distorted view
+
+And the reason is very obvious
+
+And the same holds good
+
+And then again
+
+And then hastily to conclude
+
+And then I may be reminded
+
+And then there is another thought
+
+And then when it is said
+
+And there are reasons why
+
+And there is also this view
+
+And therefore am I truly glad
+
+And therefore it is not unfrequently quoted
+
+And therefore it is not without regret
+
+And this brings me to the last thing
+
+And this is really the sense
+
+And this leads me to say a word
+
+And thus consistently
+
+And thus it is conceivable
+
+And thus it seems to me
+
+And thus we are led on then to further question
+
+And to all this must be added
+
+And to return to the topic
+
+And to this conclusion you must come
+
+And unquestionably
+
+And we are brought to the same conclusion
+
+And what do you suppose will be
+
+And when I have shown to you
+
+And when I recall that event
+
+And when we pass beyond the bounds of
+
+And where, let me ask
+
+And why should I insist
+
+And will you still insist
+
+And with these thoughts come others
+
+And yet I can not but reflect
+
+And yet I feel justified in believing
+
+And yet I think we all feel
+
+And yet let me say to you
+
+And yet one more quotation
+
+And yet this notion is, I conceive
+
+And yet though this be true
+
+And yet we ought, if we are wise
+
+And you may also remember this
+
+Another circumstance that adds to the difficulty
+
+Another consideration which I shall adduce   [adduce = cite as an example]
+
+Another instance of signal success
+
+Another of these presumptions
+
+Another point is made as clear as crystal
+
+Another reason of a kindred nature
+
+Another reflection which occurs to me
+
+Another sign of our times
+
+Another signal advantage
+
+Another striking instance
+
+Answers doubtless may be given
+
+Are there not many of us
+
+Are we content to believe
+
+Are we forever to deprive ourselves
+
+Are we not startled into astonishment
+
+Are we satisfied to assume
+
+As a general rule I hold
+
+As a last illustration
+
+As a matter of fact
+
+As a proof of this
+
+As an illustration of this truth
+
+As briefly as I may
+
+As far as my limits allow
+
+As far as this is true
+
+As far as this objection relates
+
+As far as we know
+
+As for the rest
+
+As I have now replied to
+
+As I look around on this assembly
+
+As I rise to respond to the sentiment
+
+As I understand this matter
+
+As memory scans the past
+
+As society is now constituted
+
+As some one has well said
+
+As the foregoing instances have shown
+
+As to the particular instance before us
+
+As well might we compare
+
+As we shall see in a few moments
+
+Assuredly it is this
+
+At the outset of this inquiry
+
+At the risk of digression
+
+At the same time, I candidly state
+
+At the utmost we can say
+
+At this juncture
+
+At this solemn moment
+
+Away then with the notion
+
+
+B
+
+Be assured, then
+
+Be confident, therefore
+
+Be it so
+
+Be not deceived
+
+Be sure that in spite of
+
+Be these things as they may
+
+Be your interests what they may be
+
+Bear with me for a few moments
+
+Bearing on this point
+
+Before attempting to answer this question
+
+Before going further
+
+Before I close I will particularly remark
+
+Before I come to the special matter
+
+Before I proceed to compare
+
+Being fully of the opinion
+
+Being persuaded then
+
+Believing, as I do
+
+Beyond all question we
+
+Bidden by your invitation to a discussion
+
+Broadly speaking
+
+But, above all things, let us
+
+But after all, I think no one can say
+
+But again, when we carefully consider
+
+But am I wrong in saying
+
+But apart from the fact
+
+But besides these special facts
+
+But can this question
+
+But depend upon it
+
+But despite all this
+
+But do not let us depend
+
+But do you imagine
+
+But doubts here arise
+
+But even admitting these possibilities
+
+But everyone who deserves
+
+But first of all, remark, I beg you
+
+But, further, I shall now demonstrate
+
+But, gentlemen, I must be done
+
+But grave problems confront us
+
+But here I am discussing
+
+But here let me say
+
+But how can we pass over
+
+But how shall I describe my emotions
+
+But however that may be
+
+But I am bound to say
+
+But I am certain from my own experience
+
+But I am very sorry to say
+
+But I am willing enough to admit
+
+But I can at least say
+
+But I can not conceive
+
+But I can promise
+
+But I cherish the hope
+
+But I confess that I should be glad
+
+But I digress
+
+But I do not propose all these things
+
+But I do say this
+
+But I have been insisting simply
+
+But I have heard it argued
+
+But I have no fear of the future
+
+But I leave this train of thought
+
+But I may be permitted to speak
+
+But I may say in conclusion
+
+But I need hardly assert
+
+But I pass that over
+
+But I propose to speak to you
+
+But I repeat
+
+But I resist the temptation
+
+But I return to the question
+
+But I shall go still further
+
+But I simply ask
+
+But I submit the whole subject
+
+But I trust that you will all admit
+
+But I venture to assure you
+
+But I will allude
+
+But I will not further impress any idea
+
+But I would earnestly impress upon you
+
+But if I may even flatter myself
+
+But if I seek for illustrations
+
+But if you want more evidence
+
+But if you wish to know
+
+But in making this assertion
+
+But in my opinion there is no need
+
+But in the course of time
+
+But is it quite possible to hold
+
+But is this any reason why
+
+But it does not follow from this
+
+But it happens very fortunately
+
+But it has been suggested to me
+
+But it is a fact
+
+But it is impossible for one
+
+But it is necessary to explain
+
+But it is no use protesting
+
+But it is not fair to assert
+
+But it is not my intention
+
+But it is not necessary to suppose
+
+But it is not possible to believe
+
+But it is not really so
+
+But it is otherwise with
+
+But it is sometimes said
+
+But it may be doubted whether
+
+But it may happen that I forgot
+
+But it will be a misfortune
+
+But it will naturally be asked
+
+But it will perhaps be argued
+
+But it would be vain to attempt
+
+But let me ask you to glance
+
+But let me before closing refer
+
+But let none of you think
+
+But let us also keep ever in mind
+
+But let us look a little further
+
+But lo! all of a sudden
+
+But mark this
+
+But more than all things else
+
+But my allotted time is running away
+
+But my answer to this objection
+
+But, my friends, pause for a moment
+
+But never was a grosser wrong
+
+But not for one moment
+
+But notwithstanding all this
+
+But now look at the effect
+
+But now take notice of
+
+But on the other hand
+
+But on what ground are we
+
+But passing these by
+
+But perhaps I ought to speak distinctly
+
+But perhaps you are not yet weary
+
+But putting these questions aside
+
+But quite contrary to this, you will find
+
+But recollect, I pray you, how
+
+But, sir, it is manifest
+
+But some other things are to be noted
+
+But some will ask me
+
+But sooner or later
+
+But still, I repeat
+
+But suppose the fact
+
+But surely, you can not say
+
+But that I may not divert you from
+
+But that is not all
+
+But that must be always the impression
+
+But the fact is
+
+But the final value
+
+But the greatest proof of all
+
+But the most formidable problem
+
+But the necessity of the case
+
+But the question may arise
+
+But, then, let us ask ourselves
+
+But there is another duty imposed
+
+But there is much more than this
+
+But this I do not hesitate to say
+
+But this I fearlessly affirm
+
+But this I know
+
+But this is a circuitous argument
+
+But this is no place for controversy
+
+But this is not all
+
+But this is what I mean
+
+But this much I affirm as true
+
+But this warns me
+
+But this we may put aside
+
+But to go still further
+
+But to say the truth
+
+But we are met with the assertion
+
+But we are to recollect
+
+But we ask, perhaps
+
+But we may depend upon it
+
+But we think it is not wise
+
+But we want something more for explanation
+
+But what a blunder would be yours
+
+But what is the fact
+
+But what we must needs guard against
+
+But when it is declared
+
+But when we look a little deeper
+
+But while it may be admitted
+
+But who has not seen
+
+But why do I numerate these details
+
+But with these exceptions
+
+But yet nothing can be more splendid
+
+But you should know
+
+By no means
+
+By the way, I have not mentioned
+
+By this time it will be suspected
+
+
+C
+
+Can it be supposed
+
+Can the long records of humanity teach us
+
+Can there be a better illustration
+
+Can we pretend
+
+Can you lightly contemplate
+
+Can you yield yourselves
+
+Cautious and practical thinkers ask
+
+Certain it is
+
+Certainly I am not blind to the faults
+
+Certainly, one can conceive
+
+Clearly enough
+
+Coming back to the main subject
+
+Coming down to modern times
+
+Coming to present circumstances
+
+Common sense indicates
+
+Consequently, I am not discussing this matter
+
+Consider, I beg you, what
+
+Contemplating these marvelous changes
+
+
+D
+
+Delude not yourselves with the belief
+
+Depend upon it
+
+Did it ever occur to you
+
+Difficult then as the question may be
+
+Do I need to describe
+
+Do me the honor of believing
+
+Do not imagine
+
+Do not let us conceal from ourselves
+
+Do not suppose for a moment
+
+Do not talk to me of
+
+Do not think me guilty of
+
+Do we not know
+
+Do what you will
+
+Do you ask how that can be
+
+Do you believe this can be truthfully said
+
+Do you not know I am speaking of
+
+Do you remember a concrete instance
+
+Do you think, then
+
+Does any man say
+
+Does it ever occur to you
+
+Does it not seem something like idiocy to
+
+Does it not shock you to think
+
+Does not the event show
+
+Does not the nature of every man revolt
+
+Doubtless the end is sought
+
+
+E
+
+Every now and then you will find
+
+Every one has asked himself
+
+Every one therefore ought to look to
+
+Every reader of history can recall
+
+
+F
+
+Far from it
+
+Few indeed there are
+
+Few subjects are more fruitful
+
+Few things impress the imagination more
+
+Finally, it is my most fervent prayer
+
+First in my thoughts are
+
+First of all I ask
+
+For, be assured of this
+
+For behold
+
+For I must tell you
+
+For if any one thinks that there is
+
+For, in truth, if you please to recollect
+
+For instance, I can fancy
+
+For is it not true
+
+For it is not right to
+
+For let it be observed first
+
+For mark you
+
+For my own part, I believe
+
+For myself, certainly I think
+
+For observe what the real fact is
+
+For one I deny
+
+For, perhaps, after all
+
+For, perhaps, some one may say
+
+For so it generally happens
+
+For the sake of my argument
+
+For this is what I say
+
+For this reason, indeed, it is
+
+For we all know
+
+Fortunately for us
+
+Fortunately I am not obliged
+
+From one point of view we are
+
+From the circumstances already explained
+
+From the standpoint of
+
+From this statement you will perceive
+
+
+G
+
+Generally speaking
+
+God be praised
+
+Grant this true
+
+Granting all this
+
+
+H
+
+Had I time for all that might be said
+
+Had my limits allowed it
+
+Happily for us
+
+Hardly less marvelous
+
+Hardly will anyone venture to say
+
+Have I exaggerated
+
+Have you ever noticed
+
+Having taken a view of
+
+Having thus described what appears to me
+
+He is the best prophet who
+
+He seems at times to confuse
+
+He was an eminent instance of
+
+He who is insensible to
+
+Hence arises a grave mischief
+
+Hence, as I have said
+
+Hence it follows
+
+Here again the testimony corroborates
+
+Here arises the eternal question
+
+Here comes the practical matter
+
+Here for a moment I seem
+
+Here, however, it may be objected
+
+Here I am considering
+
+Here I end my illustrations
+
+Here I must pause for a moment
+
+Here I only insist upon
+
+Here I ought to stop
+
+Here is another strange thing
+
+Here is good hope for us
+
+Here is no question
+
+Here let me meet one other question
+
+Here, then, I am brought to the consideration
+
+Here then I take up the subject
+
+Here then is the key
+
+Here, then, it is natural at last
+
+Here then, we are brought to the question
+
+Here, then, we are involved
+
+Here undoubtedly it is
+
+Here we can not but pause to contemplate
+
+Here we come into direct antagonism with
+
+Here we come to the very crux of
+
+Here we have it on high authority
+
+History is replete with predictions
+
+Hitherto I have spoken only of
+
+Holding this view, I am concerned
+
+How can we help believing
+
+How do you account for
+
+How does it happen
+
+How human language staggers when
+
+How infinitely difficult it is
+
+How infinitely superior must it appear
+
+How is this to be explained
+
+How many a time
+
+How momentous, then
+
+How much better, I say, if
+
+How much more rational it would be
+
+How shall I attempt to enumerate
+
+How shall I describe to you
+
+However, I am viewing the matter
+
+However, I will not in any way admit
+
+However, it is to me a very refreshing thing
+
+
+I
+
+I abide by my statement
+
+I add a few suggestions
+
+I adduce these facts          [adduce = cite as an example]
+
+I admire the main drift of
+
+I admit, of course, at once
+
+I admit the extreme complexity
+
+I again ask
+
+I allude to
+
+I always delight to think
+
+I always will assert the right to
+
+I am a great admirer
+
+I am a little at a loss to know
+
+I am about to supplement
+
+I am agitated by conflicting emotions
+
+I am alarmed, indeed, when I see
+
+I am also bound to say
+
+I am also satisfied
+
+I am apprehensive
+
+I am asked to-night to propose
+
+I am assured and fully believe
+
+I am at a loss for adequate terms
+
+I am bold to say
+
+I am but saying
+
+I am by no means certain
+
+I am certain that you will give me credit
+
+I am certainly in earnest sympathy
+
+I am confronted by the hope
+
+I am conscious of the fact
+
+I am convinced by what I have seen
+
+I am deeply imbued with the conviction
+
+I am deeply insensible of the compliment
+
+I am determined
+
+I am even bold enough to hazard
+
+I am exceeding my necessary limits
+
+I am exceedingly glad of this opportunity
+
+I am extremely obliged to you
+
+I am familiar with
+
+I am far from asserting
+
+I am filled with admiration
+
+I am firmly convinced
+
+I am free to admit
+
+I am fully convinced
+
+I am giving voice to what you all feel
+
+I am glad of this public opportunity
+
+I am glad to answer to the toast
+
+I am glad to express the belief
+
+I am glad to notice
+
+I am going to spare you and myself
+
+I am grateful to you for this honor
+
+I am greatly alarmed
+
+I am greatly indebted to you
+
+I am happy to be with you
+
+I am here by the favor of your invitation
+
+I am here the advocate of
+
+I am here to introduce
+
+I am in favor of
+
+I am in sympathy with
+
+I am inclined sometimes to believe
+
+I am inclined to suspect
+
+I am indebted for the honor
+
+I am, indeed, most solicitous
+
+I am informed
+
+I am led on by these reflections
+
+I am led to believe
+
+I am mainly concerned
+
+I am most deeply sensible of the welcome
+
+I am most grateful for the opportunity
+
+I am myself greatly indebted
+
+I am nevertheless too sensible
+
+I am not a stranger to
+
+I am not at liberty to discuss
+
+I am not at present concerned
+
+I am not about to defend
+
+I am not advocating
+
+I am not altogether clear
+
+I am not aware of a single instance
+
+I am not blind to the faults of
+
+I am not bold enough to
+
+I am not catching at sharp arguments
+
+I am not concerned to argue
+
+I am not defending myself
+
+I am not dreaming of denying
+
+I am not going into vexed questions
+
+I am not going to reproach
+
+I am not here to defend
+
+I am not insensible
+
+I am not of those who pretend
+
+I am not prepared to dispute the word
+
+I am not presumptuous to assert
+
+I am not proposing to set forth
+
+I am not ripe to pass sentence
+
+I am not so unreasonable as to tell you
+
+I am not surprised
+
+I am not taking into account
+
+I am not unaware
+
+I am not undertaking to deliver
+
+I am now going to attempt
+
+I am obliged to add
+
+I am obliged to go still further
+
+I am often reminded
+
+I am old enough to remember
+
+I am one of those who believe
+
+I am only too sensible of the fact
+
+I am perfectly willing to admit
+
+I am persuaded
+
+I am prepared to back that opinion by
+
+I am privileged to speak to
+
+I am quite conscious that
+
+I am rather disposed to think
+
+I am ready to do battle
+
+I am reassured by the presence here
+
+I am reluctantly but forcibly reminded
+
+I am resolved not to permit
+
+I am sensible, sir
+
+I am simply endeavoring to show
+
+I am so surrounded on every hand
+
+I am sometimes inclined to think
+
+I am somewhat relieved to know
+
+I am sorry to say
+
+I am suggesting the reason why
+
+I am sure, at any rate
+
+I am sure every impartial man will agree
+
+I am sure I feel no hostility
+
+I am sure that I echo the sentiment
+
+I am sure this generous audience will pardon me
+
+I am sure you all hope
+
+I am sure you feel the truth
+
+I am sure you will acquit me
+
+I am sure you will be kind enough
+
+I am sure you will do me the justice
+
+I am sure you will not be surprised
+
+I am surely not here to assert
+
+I am tempted further to offer to you
+
+I am thankful for the privilege
+
+I am thoroughly convinced
+
+I am to speak to you this evening
+
+I am to urge the interest of
+
+I am told occasionally
+
+I am told on authority
+
+I am too well aware of the difficulties
+
+I am totally at a loss to conceive
+
+I am trespassing too long on your time
+
+I am unable to understand
+
+I am unconscious of intentional error
+
+I am under a very great obligation
+
+I am under the deepest feeling of gratitude
+
+I am under the impression
+
+I am unwillingly bound to add
+
+I am uttering no paradox when I say
+
+I am very far from thinking.
+
+I am very glad to have the honor
+
+I am very happy to be here
+
+I am very much in the condition of
+
+I am very sure that if you ponder
+
+I am very sure you will believe
+
+I am well aware
+
+I am willing to know
+
+I anticipate with pleasing expectation
+
+I appeal in the first place
+
+I appeal to any man to say
+
+I appeal to the better judgment
+
+I appreciate the significance
+
+I argue this cause
+
+I ask again
+
+I ask no greater blessing
+
+I ask permission to speak to you
+
+I ask the attention
+
+I ask the audience
+
+I ask the audience to return with me
+
+I ask this of you
+
+I ask you calmly and dispassionately
+
+I ask you gentlemen, do you think
+
+I ask you if it is possible
+
+I ask you, if you please, to rise and give the toast
+
+I ask you in all candor
+
+I ask you now to follow me
+
+I ask you to consider
+
+I ask you to join me in drinking a toast
+
+I ask you to pledge with me
+
+I ask your attention
+
+I ask your indulgence
+
+I assert, sir, that it is
+
+I assure myself
+
+I assure you, of my own personal knowledge
+
+I attribute it to
+
+I avail myself of the opportunity
+
+I beg again to thank you for the honor
+
+I beg all to remember
+
+I beg and implore of you
+
+I beg emphatically to say
+
+I beg leave to make some observations
+
+I beg of you to remember
+
+I beg to tender my most fervent wishes
+
+I beg you not to mistake my meaning
+
+I beg you to accept my grateful expression
+
+I begin by observing
+
+I begin with expressing a sentiment
+
+I believe from my own personal experience
+
+I believe I can speak for all
+
+I believe I shall make it clear to you
+
+I believe I voice the sentiment
+
+I believe it to be the simple truth
+
+I believe most profoundly
+
+I believe that I am within the mark
+
+I believe that in this instance
+
+I bid you a most cordial and hearty welcome
+
+I bow with you in reverent commemoration
+
+I call on you to answer
+
+I call to mind how
+
+I can by no calculation justify
+
+I call hardly conceive
+
+I can make allowance for
+
+I can most truthfully assure you
+
+I call never sufficiently express my gratitude
+
+I can not allow myself to believe
+
+I can not avoid confessing
+
+I can not be content with
+
+I can not believe, I will not believe
+
+I can not better illustrate this argument
+
+I can not better sum up
+
+I can not boast of
+
+I can not bound my vision
+
+I can not but reflect
+
+I can not but see what mischief
+
+I can not charge myself with
+
+I can not close without giving expression
+
+I can not conceive a greater honor
+
+I can not feel any doubt myself
+
+I can not forbear from offering
+
+I can not give you a better illustration
+
+I can not help expressing a wish
+
+I can not help speaking urgently
+
+I can not here go into details
+
+I can not hesitate to say
+
+I can not hope adequately to respond
+
+I can not justly be responsible because
+
+I can not let this opportunity pass
+
+I can not persuade myself
+
+I can not prevail on myself
+
+I can not refrain from saying for myself
+
+I can not resist the train of thought
+
+I can not say how glad I am
+
+I can not say with confidence
+
+I can not stop to give in detail
+
+I can not sufficiently thank you
+
+I can not take back my word
+
+I can not take it for granted
+
+I can not thank you enough
+
+I can not well avoid saying
+
+I can only congratulate you
+
+I can only hope for indulgence
+
+I can readily understand
+
+I can scarcely concede anything more important
+
+I can scarcely find fitting words
+
+I can strongly recommend
+
+I can understand, moreover
+
+I can with propriety speak here
+
+I certainly have not so good an opinion
+
+I challenge any man
+
+I cheerfully own
+
+I cheerfully submit myself
+
+I claim a share also for
+
+I class them altogether under the head
+
+I close with the words
+
+I close with this sentiment
+
+I come at length to
+
+I come next to the question of
+
+I come to the other assumption
+
+I conceive this to be
+
+I confess I feel not the least alarmed
+
+I confess I have had my doubts
+
+I confess I have little sympathy
+
+I confess it affects me very deeply to
+
+I confess it is very difficult to
+
+I confess that I do not entirely approve
+
+I confess that it is a comfort to me
+
+I confess that my notions are widely different
+
+I confess to a little embarrassment
+
+I confess to you that I have no fear
+
+I confine myself to saying
+
+I congratulate you upon the auspicious character
+
+I consider I have said enough in proof
+
+I consider it amply explains
+
+I contend
+
+I content myself with pursuing
+
+I could do no less than
+
+I could easily mention
+
+I could enlarge upon it
+
+I could never understand
+
+I could wish that this belief
+
+I dare say you know
+
+I dare venture the remark
+
+I declare to you
+
+I deem it both necessary and just
+
+I deem it proper here to remind
+
+I deem myself honored
+
+I deny, once and for all
+
+I deny the inference
+
+I desire to be brief
+
+I desire to bear my testimony
+
+I desire to call attention
+
+I desire to know
+
+I desire to lay emphatic stress
+
+I dissent from the opinion
+
+I distrust all general theories of
+
+I do again and again urge upon you
+
+I do, indeed, recollect
+
+I do not absolutely assert
+
+I do not advocate
+
+I do not argue
+
+I do not ask you to
+
+I do not at this moment remember
+
+I do not believe it possible
+
+I do not belong to those who
+
+I do not choose to consume
+
+I do not complain of
+
+I do not consider it necessary
+
+I do not contend
+
+I do not countenance for a moment
+
+I do not deem it incumbent upon me
+
+I do not depreciate for a moment
+
+I do not desire to call in question
+
+I do not desire to put too much emphasis
+
+I do not despair of surmounting
+
+I do not disguise the fact
+
+I do not enter into the question
+
+I do not fail to admire
+
+I do not fear a contradiction
+
+I do not feel at liberty
+
+I do not forget the practical necessity
+
+I do not hesitate to say
+
+I do not imagine
+
+I do not in the least degree
+
+I do not indeed deny
+
+I do not indulge in the delusion
+
+I do not know how anyone can believe
+
+I do not know whether you are aware of it
+
+I do not know why
+
+I do not know with what correctness
+
+I do not mean anything so absurd
+
+I do not mean now to go further than
+
+I do not mean to impute
+
+I do not merely urge
+
+I do not mistrust
+
+I do not myself pretend to be
+
+I do not need to remind you
+
+I do not, of course, deny
+
+I do not pretend to argue
+
+I do not propose to take up your time
+
+I do not question for a moment
+
+I do not recount all
+
+I do not say anything about the future
+
+I do not say this with any affectation
+
+I do not see how it is possible
+
+I do not see much difference between
+
+I do not seek to palliate
+
+I do not speak exclusively
+
+I do not stop to discuss
+
+I do not, therefore, wonder
+
+I do not think it necessary to warn you
+
+I do not think it possible
+
+I do not think it unfair reasoning
+
+I do not think myself obliged to dwell
+
+I do not think that I need further discuss
+
+I do not think this at all an exaggeration
+
+I do not think we can go far wrong
+
+I do not think you will often hear
+
+I do not understand how it can apply
+
+I do not vouch for
+
+I do not want to discourage you
+
+I do not wish to be considered egotistic
+
+I do not wish to be misrepresented
+
+I do not wonder
+
+I doubt very much whether
+
+I dwell with pleasure on the considerations
+
+I earnestly maintain
+
+I embrace with peculiar satisfaction
+
+I end as I began
+
+I entertain great apprehension for
+
+I entertain no such chimerical hopes   [chimerical = highly improbable]
+
+I entertain the hope and opinion
+
+I entirely dissent from the view
+
+I especially hail with approval
+
+I even add this
+
+I even venture to deny
+
+I fancy I hear you say
+
+I fear I may seem trifling
+
+I fear lest I may
+
+I fearlessly appeal
+
+I fearlessly challenge
+
+I feel a great necessity to
+
+I feel bound to add my expression
+
+I feel constrained to declare
+
+I feel entirely satisfied
+
+I feel I have a right to say
+
+I feel it a proud privilege
+
+I feel keenly myself impelled by every duty
+
+I feel only a great emotion of gratitude
+
+I feel respect and admiration
+
+I feel some explanation is due
+
+I feel sure
+
+I feel tempted to introduce here
+
+I feel that I have a special right to
+
+I feel that it is not true
+
+I feel the greatest satisfaction
+
+I feel the task is far beyond my power
+
+I fervently trust
+
+I find it difficult to utter in words
+
+I find it more easy
+
+I find my reference to this
+
+I find myself called upon to say something
+
+I find myself in the position of
+
+I find no better example than
+
+I find no fault with
+
+I find numberless cases
+
+I flatter myself
+
+I, for my part, would rather
+
+I, for one, greatly doubt
+
+I forbear to inquire
+
+I foresaw the consequence
+
+I fully recognize
+
+I gave notice just now
+
+I give you, in conclusion, this sentence
+
+I go further
+
+I grant all this
+
+I grant with my warmest admiration
+
+I gratefully accept
+
+I greatly deplore
+
+I had a kind of hope
+
+I had almost said
+
+I had in common with others
+
+I had occasion to criticize
+
+I happen to differ
+
+I hardly dare to dwell longer
+
+I hardly know anything more strange
+
+I hasten to concede
+
+I have a dark suspicion
+
+I have a great admiration for
+
+I have a pleasing and personal duty
+
+I have a profound pity for those
+
+I have a right to consider
+
+I have a strong belief
+
+I have a very high respect for
+
+I have abstained from
+
+I have acquired some useful experience
+
+I have all along implied
+
+I have all but finished
+
+I have already alluded to
+
+I have already shown the ground of my hope
+
+I have already stated, and now repeat
+
+I have always been under the impression
+
+I have always listened with the greatest satisfaction
+
+I have always maintained
+
+I have another objection
+
+I have another observation to add
+
+I have anticipated the objection
+
+I have assumed throughout
+
+I have attempted thus hastily
+
+I have barely touched some of the points
+
+I have been allowed the privilege
+
+I have been asked several times
+
+I have been extremely anxious
+
+I have been given to understand
+
+I have been glad to observe
+
+I have been heretofore treating
+
+I have been insisting then on this
+
+I have been interested in hearing
+
+I have been pointing out how
+
+I have been profoundly moved
+
+I have been requested to say a word
+
+I have been told by an eminent authority
+
+I have been too long accustomed to hear
+
+I have been touched by the large generosity
+
+I have been trying to show
+
+I have before me the statistics
+
+I have but one more word to add
+
+I have demonstrated to you
+
+I have depicted
+
+I have endeavored to emphasize
+
+I have enlarged on this subject
+
+I have felt it almost a duty to
+
+I have found great cause for wonder
+
+I have frequently been surprised at
+
+I have gazed with admiration
+
+I have generally observed
+
+I have gone so far as to suggest
+
+I have good reason for
+
+I have had steadily in mind
+
+I have had the honor
+
+I have had to take a long sweep
+
+I have heard it objected
+
+I have heard with relief and pleasure
+
+I have hitherto been adducing instances    [adduce = cite as an example]
+
+I have hitherto been engaged in showing
+
+I have in a measure anticipated
+
+I have in my possession
+
+I have incidentally dwelt on
+
+I have introduced it to suggest
+
+I have labored to maintain
+
+I have laid much stress upon
+
+I have lately observed many strong indications
+
+I have listened with the utmost interest
+
+I have little hope that I can add anything
+
+I have lived to see
+
+I have long ago insisted
+
+I have long been of the conviction
+
+I have never heard it suggested
+
+I have never whispered a syllable
+
+I have no acquaintance with
+
+I have no doubt whatever
+
+I have no excuse for intruding
+
+I have no fear of myself
+
+I have no fears for the success
+
+I have no hesitation in asserting
+
+I have no intention to moralize
+
+I have no particular inclination
+
+I have no prejudice on the subject
+
+I have no pretention to be regarded
+
+I have no reason to think
+
+I have no scruple in saying
+
+I have no such gloomy forebodings
+
+I have no sympathy with the men
+
+I have no thought of venturing to say
+
+I have no wish at all to preach
+
+I have not accustomed myself
+
+I have not allowed myself
+
+I have not been able to deny
+
+I have not particularly referred to
+
+I have not said anything yet
+
+I have not the means of forming a judgment
+
+I have not the right to reproach
+
+I have not time to present
+
+I have nothing more to say
+
+I have noticed of late years
+
+I have now explained to you
+
+I have now made bold to touch upon
+
+I have now rather more than kept my word
+
+I have now said all that occurs to me
+
+I have often been impressed with
+
+I have often been struck with the resemblance
+
+I have often lingered in fancy
+
+I have one step farther to go
+
+I have only partially examined
+
+I have partly anticipated
+
+I have pleasant memories of
+
+I have pointed out
+
+I have pride and pleasure in quoting
+
+I have racked this brain of mine
+
+I have read with great regret
+
+I have said and I repeat
+
+I have said over and over again
+
+I have said what I solemnly believe
+
+I have scant patience
+
+I have seen for myself
+
+I have seen it stated in a recent journal
+
+I have seen some signs of encouragement
+
+I have shown
+
+I have some sort of fear
+
+I have sometimes asked myself
+
+I have sometimes fancied
+
+I have sometimes wondered whether
+
+I have still two comments to make
+
+I have taken pains to know
+
+I have the confident hope
+
+I have the greatest possible confidence
+
+I have the honor to propose
+
+I have then to investigate
+
+I have thought it incumbent on me
+
+I have thought it right on this day
+
+I have thought it well to suggest
+
+I have throughout highly appreciated
+
+I have thus been led by my feelings
+
+I have thus stated the reason
+
+I have to confess with a feeling of melancholy
+
+I have to force my imagination
+
+I have touched very cursorily
+
+I have tried to convey to you
+
+I have undertaken to speak
+
+I have very much less feeling of
+
+I have watched with some attention
+
+I have witnessed the extraordinary
+
+I have yet a more cogent reason
+
+I have yet to learn
+
+I hazard nothing in saying
+
+I hear it sometimes said
+
+I hear you say to yourselves
+
+I heartily feel the singular claims
+
+I hesitate to take an instance
+
+I hold it to be clearly expedient
+
+I hold myself obliged to
+
+I hold the maxim no less applicable
+
+I hold this to be a truth
+
+I hold to the principle
+
+I hope by this time we are all convinced
+
+I hope for our own sakes
+
+I hope I have expressed myself explicitly
+
+I hope I may be allowed to intimate
+
+I hope I shall not be told
+
+I hope it is no disparagement
+
+I hope most sincerely and truly
+
+I hope none who hear me
+
+I hope not to occupy more than a few minutes
+
+I hope that I shall not be so unfortunate
+
+I hope the day may be far distant
+
+I hope the time may come again
+
+I hope to be excused if
+
+I hope to be forgiven if
+
+I hope we may forget
+
+I hope you will not accuse me
+
+I imagine that no one will be disposed
+
+I insist upon it
+
+I intend to propose
+
+I know from experience how
+
+I know full well
+
+I know I am treading on thin ice
+
+I know it has been questioned
+
+I know it is said
+
+I know it will be said
+
+I know many reasons why
+
+I know not how else to express
+
+I know not in what direction to look
+
+I know not of my own knowledge
+
+I know not where else to find
+
+I know perfectly well
+
+I know that it is impossible for me to
+
+I know that this is the feeling
+
+I know that what I may say is true
+
+I know there are some who think
+
+I know there is a theory among us
+
+I know too well
+
+I know very well the difference between
+
+I know well it is not for me
+
+I know well the sentiments
+
+I know you are all impatient to hear
+
+I know you will do all in your power
+
+I know you will interpret what I say
+
+I labor under a degree of prejudice
+
+I lately heard it affirmed
+
+I lay it down as a principle
+
+I leave history to judge
+
+I leave it to you
+
+I leave the arduous task
+
+I leave to others to speak
+
+I long to speak a word or two
+
+I look hopefully to
+
+I look in vain
+
+I look with encouragement
+
+I look with inexpressible dread
+
+I look with mingled hope and terror
+
+I make my appeal to
+
+I make no extravagant claim
+
+I make this abrupt acknowledgment
+
+I marvel that
+
+I may add, speaking for my own part
+
+I may be allowed to make one remark
+
+I may be permitted to add
+
+I may confess to you
+
+I may safely appeal
+
+I may say to you calmly
+
+I may seem to have been diffuse
+
+I may take as an instance
+
+I may venture upon a review
+
+I mean by this
+
+I mean, moreover
+
+I mean something more than that
+
+I mention it to you to justify
+
+I mention these facts because
+
+I mention this, not by way of complaint
+
+I might bring you another such case
+
+I might deny that
+
+I might enter into such detail
+
+I might go further
+
+I might go on indefinitely
+
+I might go on to illustrate
+
+I might of course point first
+
+I might reasonably question the justice
+
+I might try to explain
+
+I might venture to claim
+
+I might well have desired
+
+I might well think
+
+I must ask an abrupt question
+
+I must be careful about what I say
+
+I must be contented with
+
+I must be excused if I say
+
+I must bow in reverence
+
+I must call your attention for a moment
+
+I must conclude abruptly
+
+I must confess that I became rather alarmed
+
+I must consider this as
+
+I must crave your indulgence
+
+I must express to you again
+
+I must fairly tell you
+
+I must find some fault with
+
+I must for want of time omit
+
+I must here admit
+
+I must lament
+
+I must leave any detailed development
+
+I must mention with praise
+
+I must not allow myself to indulge
+
+I must not for an instant be supposed
+
+I must not overlook
+
+I must now beg to ask
+
+I must pause a moment to
+
+I must proceed
+
+I must qualify the statement
+
+I must remind my hearers of
+
+I must reply to some observations
+
+I must return to the subject
+
+I must say that I am one of those
+
+I must speak plainly
+
+I must suppose, however
+
+I must take occasion to say
+
+I must thank you once more
+
+I must try to describe to you
+
+I myself have boundless faith
+
+I need not assure this brilliant company
+
+I need not dwell
+
+I need not enter into
+
+I need not follow out the application
+
+I need not, I am certain, assure you
+
+I need not say how much I thank you
+
+I need not show how inconsistent
+
+I need not specially recommend to you
+
+I need not wander far in search
+
+I need only to observe
+
+I need say nothing in praise
+
+I need scarcely observe
+
+I need to guard myself right here
+
+I neither affirm nor deny
+
+I next come to the implicit assumption
+
+I note with particular pleasure
+
+I notice it as affording an instance
+
+I noticed incidentally the fact
+
+I now address you on a question
+
+I now come, sir, to the second head
+
+I now have the pleasure of presenting to you
+
+I now pass to the question of
+
+I now proceed to inquire
+
+I now reiterate
+
+I object strongly to the use
+
+I observe, then, in the first place
+
+I only ask a favorable construction of
+
+I only marvel
+
+I only wish you to recognize
+
+I open the all-important question
+
+I ought to give an illustration
+
+I own I can not help feeling
+
+I particularly allude to
+
+I pass on from that
+
+I pass then to our second division
+
+I pause for a moment to say
+
+I pause to confess once more
+
+I pay tribute to
+
+I personally know that it is so
+
+I pray God I may never
+
+I predict that you will
+
+I prefer a practical view
+
+I presume I shall have to admit
+
+I presume that I shall not be disbelieved
+
+I proceed to another important phase
+
+I profess
+
+I propose briefly to glance at
+
+I propose, therefore to consider
+
+I protest I never had any doubt
+
+I purposely have avoided
+
+I question whether
+
+I quite endorse what has been said
+
+I rather look forward to a time
+
+I readily grant
+
+I really can not think it necessary to
+
+I really do not know
+
+I really thought that you would excuse me
+
+I recall another historical fact
+
+I recognize the high compliment conveyed
+
+I recollect hearing a sagacious remark    [sagacious = sound judgment]
+
+I refer especially
+
+I refuse to believe
+
+I regard as an erroneous view
+
+I regard it as a tribute
+
+I regard it as a very great honor
+
+I regret that I am not able to remember
+
+I regret that it is not possible for me
+
+I regret the time limits me
+
+I regret this the less
+
+I rejoice in an occasion like this
+
+I rejoice that events have occurred
+
+I rejoice to think I remark here
+
+I remember a reference made
+
+I remember an intimation
+
+I remember full well
+
+I remember the enjoyment with which
+
+I remember to have heard
+
+I repeat, I am not speaking
+
+I repeat my statement in another form
+
+I respectfully counsel
+
+I respectfully submit
+
+I rest my opinion on
+
+I rise in behalf
+
+I rise to express my disapprobation   [approbation = warm approval; praise]
+
+I rise to thank you
+
+I rise with some trepidation
+
+I return, in conclusion, to
+
+I return you my most grateful thanks
+
+I said a little way back
+
+I said it would be well
+
+I said that I thought
+
+I salute with profound reverence
+
+I sanction with all my heart
+
+I saw an ingenious argument the other day
+
+I say frankly
+
+I say in moderation
+
+I say it is extremely important
+
+I say it most confidently
+
+I say no more of these things
+
+I say not one syllable against
+
+I say, then, my first point is
+
+I say this is no disparagement of
+
+I say this the more gladly
+
+I say without fear of contradiction
+
+I see around me
+
+I see as clearly as any man possibly can
+
+I see little hope of
+
+I see no exception
+
+I see no possibility of
+
+I see no reason for doubting
+
+I seem to hear you say
+
+I seize upon this opportunity
+
+I seriously desire
+
+I set out with saying
+
+I shall add a few words
+
+I shall address myself to a single point
+
+I shall ask you to look very closely
+
+I shall be told
+
+I shall best attain my object
+
+I shall bestow a little attention upon
+
+I shall certainly admit
+
+I shall consider myself privileged
+
+I shall desist from
+
+I shall endeavor to be guided
+
+I shall give it in the words of
+
+I shall here briefly recite the
+
+I shall here use the word to denote
+
+I shall hope to interest you
+
+I shall invite you to follow me
+
+I shall just give the summary of
+
+I shall never believe
+
+I shall never cease to be grateful
+
+I shall not acknowledge
+
+I shall not attempt a detailed narrative
+
+I shall not end without appealing
+
+I shall not enlarge upon
+
+I shall not force into the discussion
+
+I shall not go so far as to say
+
+I shall not hesitate to say something
+
+I shall not tax your patience
+
+I shall not undertake to prophesy
+
+I shall not weary your patience
+
+I shall now give you some instances
+
+I shall now proceed to show
+
+I shall often have to advert to
+
+I shall pass by all this
+
+I shall presently show
+
+I shall proceed without further preface
+
+I shall recur to certain questions
+
+I shall say all this without entering into
+
+I shall show that I am not
+
+I shall speak first about
+
+I shall speak with becoming frankness
+
+I shall take a broader view of the subject
+
+I shall take it for granted here
+
+I shall therefore endeavor
+
+I shall touch upon one or two questions
+
+I shall waste no time in refuting
+
+I shall with your sanction
+
+I should be false to my own manhood
+
+I should be surprised if
+
+I should be the last man to deny
+
+I should fail in my duty if
+
+I should find it hard to discover
+
+I should have forfeited my own self-respect
+
+I should like at least to mention
+
+I should like to emphasize
+
+I should like to go a step farther
+
+I should like to refer to two events
+
+I should like to see that view answered
+
+I should like to-day to examine briefly
+
+I should much prefer
+
+I should not be satisfied with myself
+
+I should think it too absurd
+
+I shrink from the contemplation
+
+I shudder at the doctrine
+
+I simply lay my finger on a fact
+
+I simply pause here to ask
+
+I sincerely regret the absence
+
+I sincerely wish it were in my power
+
+I solemnly declare
+
+I sometimes hear a wish expressed
+
+I sorrowfully call to mind
+
+I speak forth my sentiment
+
+I speak from no little personal observation
+
+I speak of this to show
+
+I speak the fact when I tell you
+
+I speak the secret feeling of this company
+
+I speak what I know when I say
+
+I speak wholly without authority
+
+I speak with feeling upon this point
+
+I speak with some degree of encouragement
+
+I speak with the utmost sincerity
+
+I speak within the hearing of
+
+I stand in awed amazement before
+
+I stand in the midst of men
+
+I still view with respect
+
+I submit it to every candid mind
+
+I submit that in such a case
+
+I submit that it is high time
+
+I submit this proposition
+
+I summon you to do your share
+
+I suppose it is right to answer
+
+I suppose it to be entirely true
+
+I suppose most men will recollect
+
+I suppose that everyone who listens to me
+
+I suppose there is no one here
+
+I suppose we are all of one opinion
+
+I suspect that is why we so often
+
+I sympathize most heartily
+
+I take a broader and bolder position
+
+I take it for granted
+
+I take leave to say
+
+I take one picture as an illustration
+
+I take pleasure in saying
+
+I take the liberty of observing
+
+I take this instance at random
+
+I take two views of
+
+I tell him in reply
+
+I tell you, gentlemen
+
+I tender my thanks to you
+
+I thank you for having allowed me
+
+I thank you for the appreciative tone
+
+I thank you for the honor
+
+I thank you for your most generous greeting
+
+I thank you for your thoughtful courtesy
+
+I thank you from the bottom of my heart
+
+I thank you very gratefully
+
+I thank you very sincerely for the honor
+
+I think I am correct in saying
+
+I think I am not the first to utter
+
+I think I can claim a purpose
+
+I think I can sincerely declare
+
+I think I have a right to look upon
+
+I think I have rightly spoken
+
+I think I might safely say
+
+I think I need not say more
+
+I think it is not too much to say
+
+I think it is quite right
+
+I think it may be necessary to consider
+
+I think it might be said with safety
+
+I think it my duty to
+
+I think it observable
+
+I think it probable
+
+I think it will astonish you
+
+I think it will be granted
+
+I think no Wise man can be indifferent
+
+I think, on the contrary
+
+I think something may be said in favor of
+
+I think that all will agree
+
+I think that I can explain
+
+I think that I can venture to say
+
+I think that, in these last years
+
+I think that none of us will deny
+
+I think there is no better evidence
+
+I think there is no call on me to listen
+
+I think we are justified
+
+I think we can hardly hope
+
+I think we may all easily see
+
+I think we may ask in reply
+
+I think we may safely conclude
+
+I think we may say, therefore
+
+I think we may well be proud of
+
+I think we may well congratulate each other
+
+I think we must draw a distinction
+
+I think we need neither doubt nor fear
+
+I think we ought to recur a moment to
+
+I think we shall all recognize
+
+I think we should do well to call to mind
+
+I think we take too narrow a view
+
+I think when we look back upon
+
+I think you may well rejoice in
+
+I think you will all agree
+
+I think you will pardon my saying
+
+I think you will see
+
+I thus explicitly reply
+
+I tremble at the task
+
+I tremble to think
+
+I trust I may be indulged
+
+I trust it is not presumptuous
+
+I trust that as the years roll on
+
+I trust that I shall have the indulgence
+
+I trust that this will not be regarded as
+
+I turn, gentlemen, to the case
+
+I use the word advisedly
+
+I use the word in the sense
+
+I use very plain language
+
+I utter this word with the deepest affection
+
+I value very much the honor
+
+I venture to ask permission
+
+I venture to say
+
+I verily believe
+
+I very confidently submit
+
+I view that prospect with the greatest misgiving
+
+I want to bespeak your attention
+
+I want to know the character
+
+I want to make some simple applications
+
+I want to say just a few words
+
+I want to say one word more
+
+I want to say to you seriously
+
+I want to think with you
+
+I warn and exhort you
+
+I was astonished to learn
+
+I was constantly watchful to
+
+I was exceedingly interested
+
+I was honored with the acquaintance
+
+I was lost in admiration
+
+I was not slow to accept and believe
+
+I was not without some anxiety
+
+I was overwhelmed
+
+I was sincerely astonished
+
+I was very much interested
+
+I was very much thrilled
+
+I well recollect the time
+
+I well remember an occasion
+
+I will accept the general proposition
+
+I will add the memorable words
+
+I will ask the indulgence
+
+I will ask you to accompany me
+
+I will ask you to bear witness
+
+I will dwell a little longer
+
+I will endeavor in a brief way
+
+I will endeavor to illustrate
+
+I will endeavor to show you
+
+I will enlarge no further
+
+I will even express a hope at the outset
+
+I will even go further and say
+
+I will first call your attention to
+
+I will give one more illustration
+
+I will illustrate this point by
+
+I will merely mention
+
+I will neither affirm nor deny
+
+I will not allude
+
+I will not argue this
+
+I will not attempt to note
+
+I will not be content until
+
+I will not condescend to
+
+I will not enumerate at present
+
+I will not pause to maintain
+
+I will not positively say
+
+I will not pretend to inquire into
+
+I will not quarrel with
+
+I will not relinquish the confidence
+
+I will not repeat the arguments here
+
+I will not try to gauge
+
+I will now consider with you
+
+I will now leave this question
+
+I will now take an instance
+
+I will only speak to one point
+
+I will only sum up my evidence
+
+I will only take an occasion to express
+
+I will only venture to remind you
+
+I will point out to your attention
+
+I will say at once
+
+I will speak but a word or two more
+
+I will speak plainly
+
+I will state with perfect distinctness
+
+I will suppose the objection to be
+
+I will take one more instance
+
+I will take the precaution to add
+
+I will tell you what I think of
+
+I will try to make the thing intelligible
+
+I will venture a single remark
+
+I will venture to add
+
+I will venture to express the hope
+
+I will yield the whole question
+
+I willingly admit
+
+I wish also to declare positively
+
+I wish at the outset
+
+I wish emphatically to reaffirm
+
+I wish I had the time and the power
+
+I wish it first observed
+
+I wish rather to call your attention
+
+I wish, sir, that justice might be done
+
+I wish to ask if you honestly and candidly believe
+
+I wish to be allowed to enforce in detail
+
+I wish to begin my statement
+
+I wish to confine what I have to say
+
+I wish to do full justice to
+
+I wish to draw your attention
+
+I wish to express my profound gratification
+
+I wish to give these arguments their full weight
+
+I wish to know whether
+
+I wish to offer a few words relative to
+
+I wish to remind you in how large a degree
+
+I wish to say a word or two
+
+I wish to state all this as a matter of fact
+
+I wish you success and happiness
+
+I wish you to observe
+
+I would also gratefully acknowledge
+
+I would as soon believe
+
+I would desire to speak simply and directly
+
+I would enter a protest
+
+I would further point out to you
+
+I would have you understand
+
+I would infinitely rather
+
+I would like to say one word just here
+
+I would not be understood as belittling
+
+I would not dwell upon that matter if
+
+I would not push the suggestion so far
+
+I would now gladly lay before you
+
+I would rather a thousand times
+
+I would recommend to your consideration
+
+I would suggest first of all
+
+I would that my voice could reach the ear
+
+I would urge and entreat you
+
+I would urge upon you
+
+I would venture to point out
+
+I yielded to the earnest solicitations
+
+If any man be so persuaded
+
+If anyone could conceive
+
+If anyone is so dim of vision
+
+If any other answer be made
+
+If at first view this should seem
+
+If, however, you determine to
+
+If I am asked for the proof
+
+If I am wrong
+
+If I can carry you with me
+
+If I can succeed in describing
+
+If I could find words
+
+If I have done no more than view the facts
+
+If I have in any way deserved
+
+If I may be allowed a little criticism
+
+If I may be allowed modestly to suggest
+
+If I may be allowed to refer
+
+If I may reverently say so
+
+If I may say so without presumption
+
+If I may so speak
+
+If I may take for granted
+
+If I may venture to say anything
+
+If I mistake not the sentiment
+
+If I recollect aright
+
+If I understand the matter at all
+
+If I venture a few remarks
+
+If I were asked
+
+If I were to act upon my conviction
+
+If I were to recapitulate
+
+If I wished to prove my contention
+
+If, in consequence we find it necessary
+
+If in the glow of conscious pride
+
+If in the years of the future
+
+If it be difficult to appreciate
+
+If it be so
+
+If it be true
+
+If it is contended
+
+If it means anything, it means this
+
+If more were needed to illustrate.
+
+If my opinions are true
+
+If on the contrary, we all foresee
+
+If, on the other hand, I say
+
+If one seeks to measure
+
+If only we go deep enough
+
+If still you have further doubt
+
+If the bare facts were studied
+
+If the experience of the world is worth anything
+
+If, then, I am asked
+
+If, then, I should here rest my cause
+
+If there be any among us
+
+If there be one lesson more than another
+
+If this be so
+
+If this seems doubtful to anyone
+
+If, unhappily, the day should ever come
+
+If we accept at all the argument
+
+If we are not blind to
+
+If we are rightly informed
+
+If we are to reason on the fact
+
+If we cast our glance back
+
+If we embark upon a career
+
+If we had the whole case before us
+
+If we isolate ourselves
+
+If we may trust to experience
+
+If we pursue a different course
+
+If we pursue our inquiries through
+
+If we sincerely desire
+
+If we survey
+
+If we would not be beguiled
+
+If what has been said is true
+
+If you remain silent
+
+If you seek the real meaning of
+
+If you think for a moment
+
+If you want to look
+
+If you were asked to point out
+
+If you will allow me to prophesy
+
+If you will forgive me the expression
+
+If you wish for a more interesting example
+
+If you wish to get at the bottom of facts
+
+If you would see the most conclusive proof
+
+If your view is right
+
+In a significant paragraph
+
+In a wider sense
+
+In a word, gentlemen
+
+In a word, I conceive
+
+In actual life, I suspect
+
+In addition to these arguments
+
+In addressing myself to the question
+
+In addressing you I feel
+
+In agreement with this obvious conclusion
+
+In all ages of the world
+
+In all or any of these views
+
+In all times and places
+
+In an unguarded moment
+
+In answering the inquiry
+
+In any view of the case
+
+In closing my speech, I ask each of you
+
+In conclusion, let me say
+
+In conclusion, may I repeat
+
+In consequence it becomes a necessity
+
+In contemplating the causes
+
+In days to come
+
+In examining this part of the subject
+
+In fine, it is no extravagance to say
+
+In former ages and generations
+
+In further illustration
+
+In further proof of my assertion
+
+In illustration of what I have said
+
+In like manner are to be explained
+
+In like manner I would advise
+
+In listening to the kind words
+
+In looking about me
+
+In many instances
+
+In meeting this difficulty, I will not urge
+
+In most cases I hold
+
+In my estimation
+
+In my humble opinion
+
+In my view
+
+In offering to you these counsels
+
+In one other respect
+
+In one point I wish no one to mistake me
+
+In one sense this is undoubtedly true
+
+In order to appreciate the force of
+
+In order to complete the proof
+
+In order to do justice to the question
+
+In order to prove plainly and intelligibly
+
+In order to realize adequately
+
+In other words
+
+In our estimate of the past
+
+In point of fact
+
+In precisely the same way
+
+In pursuance of these views
+
+In pursuing the great objects
+
+In regard to
+
+In rising to return my sincere thanks
+
+In saying all of this, I do not forget
+
+In saying this, I am not disposed to deny
+
+In short, I say
+
+In solving this difficulty
+
+In something of a parallel way
+
+In spite of the fact
+
+In such cases, strictly speaking
+
+In support of this assertion
+
+In that matchless epitome
+
+In that mood of high hope
+
+In the anomalies of fortune
+
+In the course of these remarks
+
+In the existing circumstances
+
+In the first place, therefore, I consider
+
+In the first place we see
+
+In the first place, we should be all agreed
+
+In the fullest sense
+
+In the fullness of time
+
+In the last suggestion
+
+In the meantime I will commend to you
+
+In the next place, be assured
+
+In the presence of this vast assembly
+
+In the present situation
+
+In the progress of events
+
+In the remarks I have made
+
+In the same manner I rely
+
+In the second place it is quite clear
+
+In the suggestion I have made
+
+In the very brief space at our disposal
+
+In these extraordinary circumstances
+
+In these sentiments I agree
+
+In this brief survey
+
+In this connection, I may be permitted to refer
+
+In this connection I remind myself
+
+In this necessarily brief and imperfect review
+
+In this rapid and slight enumeration
+
+In this respect
+
+In this sense only
+
+In this there is no contradiction
+
+In very many instances
+
+In very truth
+
+In view of these reflections
+
+In what has now been said
+
+In what I have now further to say
+
+In widening our view
+
+Indeed, can anyone tell me
+
+Indeed, I am not convinced
+
+Indeed, I can not do better
+
+Indeed, I have heard it whispered
+
+Indeed, I may fairly say
+
+Indeed, it will generally be found
+
+Indeed we know
+
+Instances abound
+
+Is it logically consistent
+
+Is it not legitimate to recognize
+
+Is it not marvelous
+
+Is it not obvious
+
+Is it not quite possible
+
+Is it not, then, preposterous
+
+Is it not universally recognized
+
+Is it not wise to argue
+
+Is it possible, can it be believed
+
+Is it, then, any wonder
+
+Is not that the common sentiment
+
+Is there any evidence here
+
+Is there any language of reproach
+
+Is there any possibility of mistaking
+
+Is there any reason in the world
+
+It affords me gratification
+
+It also pleases me very much
+
+It amounts to this
+
+It appears from what has been said
+
+It appears to me, on the contrary
+
+It can rightly be said
+
+It certainly follows, then
+
+It comes to this
+
+It could not be otherwise
+
+It does not necessarily follow
+
+It exhibits a state of mind
+
+It follows as a matter of course
+
+It follows inevitably
+
+It gives us an exalted conception
+
+It grieves me to relate
+
+It hardly fits the character
+
+It has at all times been a just reproach
+
+It has been a very great pleasure for me
+
+It has been generally assumed
+
+It has been justly objected
+
+It has been my privilege
+
+It has been suggested fancifully
+
+It has been well said
+
+It has ever been my ambition
+
+It has struck me very forcibly
+
+It is a circumstance of happy augury
+                              [augury = sign of something coming; omen]
+
+It is a common error
+
+It is a curious trait
+
+It is a fact well known
+
+It is a falsehood to say
+
+It is a familiar charge against
+
+It is a good augury of success  [augury = sign of something coming; omen]
+
+It is a great pleasure to me
+
+It is a living truth
+
+It is a matter of absorbing interest
+
+It is a matter of amusement
+
+It is a matter of fact
+
+It is a matter of just pride
+
+It is a melancholy story
+
+It is a memory I cherish
+
+It is a mischievous notion
+
+It is a mistake to suppose
+
+It is a most extraordinary thing
+
+It is a most pertinent question
+
+It is a noble thing
+
+It is a peculiar pleasure to me
+
+It is a perversion of terms
+
+It is a pleasing peculiarity
+
+It is a popular idea
+
+It is a rare privilege
+
+It is a recognized principle
+
+It is a remarkable and striking fact
+
+It is a strange fact
+
+It is a sure sign
+
+It is a theme too familiar
+
+It is a thing commonly said
+
+It is a touching reflection
+
+It is a true saying
+
+It is a very significant fact
+
+It is a vision which still inspires us
+
+It is a wholesome symptom
+
+It is, all things considered, a fact
+
+It is all very fine to think
+
+It is all very well to say
+
+It is almost proverbial
+
+It is also possible
+
+It is also probably true
+
+It is always pleasant to respond
+
+It is amazing how little
+
+It is an easy matter
+
+It is an egregious mistake
+              [egregious = conspicuously and outrageously reprehensible]
+
+It is an established rule
+
+It is an incredible thing
+
+It is an interesting fact
+
+It is an unforgivable offense
+
+It is an unquestionable truth
+
+It is appropriate that we should celebrate
+
+It is asserted
+
+It is assumed as an axiom
+
+It is at once inconsistent
+
+It is but fair to say
+
+It is but too true
+
+It is by no means my design
+
+It is certainly especially pleasant
+
+It is certainly remarkable
+
+It is common in these days to lament
+
+It is commonly assumed
+
+It is comparatively easy
+
+It is curious sophistry
+
+It is curious to observe
+
+It is desirable for us
+
+It is difficult for me to respond fitly
+
+It is difficult to avoid saying
+
+It is difficult to describe
+
+It is difficult to overstate
+
+It is difficult to put a limit
+
+It is difficult to surmise
+
+It is doubtful whether
+
+It is easy enough to add
+
+It is easy to instance cases
+
+It is easy to understand
+
+It is eminently proper
+
+It is every man's duty to think
+
+It is evident that the answer to this
+
+It is evidently supposed by many people
+
+It is exceedingly gratifying to hear
+
+It is exceedingly unfortunate
+
+It is fair that you should hear
+
+It is fair to suppose
+
+It is far from me to desire
+
+It is fatal to suppose
+
+It is fitting
+
+It is for me to relate
+
+It is for others to illustrate
+
+It is for this reason
+
+It is for us to ask
+
+It is greatly assumed
+
+It is gratifying to have the honor
+
+It is hardly for me
+
+It is hardly necessary to pass judgment
+
+It is idle to think of
+
+It is immaterial whether
+
+It is impossible to avoid saying
+
+It is in every way appropriate
+
+It is in the highest degree worthy
+
+It is in this characteristic
+
+It is in vain
+
+It is in your power to give
+
+It is indeed a strange doctrine
+
+It is indeed not a little remarkable
+
+It is indeed true
+
+It is indeed very clear
+
+It is indispensable to have
+
+It is interesting and suggestive
+
+It is interesting to know
+
+It is just so far true
+
+It is likewise necessary
+
+It is made evident
+
+It is manifest
+
+It is manifestly absurd to say
+
+It is merely common sense to say
+
+It is more than probable
+
+It is my agreeable duty
+
+It is my belief
+
+It is my earnest wish
+
+It is my grateful duty to address you
+
+It is my hope
+
+It is my present purpose
+
+It is natural to ask the question
+
+It is necessary to refer
+
+It is necessary to take some notice
+
+It is needful to a complete understanding
+
+It is needless before this audience to repeat
+
+It is no doubt true
+
+It is no exaggeration to say
+
+It is no part of my business
+
+It is no significant thing
+
+It is no small indication
+
+It is no wonder
+
+It is not a practical question
+
+It is not altogether satisfactory
+
+It is not an unknown occurrence
+
+It is not by any means
+
+It is not difficult to comprehend
+
+It is not difficult to discern
+
+It is not easy for me to find words
+
+It is not enough to say
+
+It is not entirely clear to me
+
+It is not evident
+
+It is not for me on this occasion
+
+It is not given to many men
+
+It is not likely that any of you
+
+It is not logical to say
+
+It is not my intention to enter into
+
+It is not my purpose to discuss
+
+It is not necessarily true
+
+It is not necessary for me even to sketch
+
+It is not necessary for our purpose
+
+It is not often in these modern days
+
+It is not ours to pronounce
+
+It is not out of place to remind you
+
+It is not possible to recount
+
+It is not quite clear
+
+It is not to me so very surprising
+
+It is not too much to say
+
+It is not unknown to you
+
+It is not within the scope of this address
+
+It is now high time for me
+
+It is now perfectly plain
+
+It is observable enough
+
+It is obvious
+
+It is of course difficult
+
+It is of great importance to show
+
+It is of no moment
+
+It is of very little importance
+
+It is often remarked
+
+It is on these grounds
+
+It is one of the burning questions of the day
+
+It is one of the most natural visions
+
+It is one of the most significant things
+
+It is one of the queerest freaks of fate
+
+It is only a few short years since
+
+It is only just to say
+
+It is our duty to examine
+
+It is ours to bear witness
+
+It is owing to this truth
+
+It is peculiarly befitting at this time
+
+It is perfectly apparent
+
+It is pitiable to reflect
+
+It is pleasant to meet this brilliant company
+
+It is rather a pleasant coincidence
+
+It is rather an arduous task
+
+It is rather startling
+
+It is related
+
+It is ridiculous to say
+
+It is said, and I think said truly
+
+It is said to be impossible
+
+It is satisfactory to notice
+
+It is scarcely necessary to insist
+
+It is scarcely questioned
+
+It is self-evident
+
+It is sometimes hard to determine
+
+It is still an open question
+
+It is still more surprising
+
+It is substantially true
+
+It is surely necessary for me
+
+It is the clear duty of
+
+It is the doctrine of
+
+It is the fashion to extol
+
+It is the universal testimony
+
+It is therefore evident
+
+It is therefore necessary
+
+It is this which lies at the foundation
+
+It is to be expected
+
+It is to be remembered
+
+It is to me a very sincere satisfaction
+
+It is told traditionally
+
+It is too plain to be argued
+
+It is true
+
+It is unnecessary for me to remind you
+
+It is upon this line of reasoning
+
+It is very common to confuse
+
+It is very doubtful whether
+
+It is very interesting and pleasant
+
+It is well known
+
+It is with great pleasure
+
+It is with pity unspeakable
+
+It is within the memory of men now living
+
+It is worth while to notice
+
+It may appear absurd
+
+It may at first sight seem strange
+
+It may be added
+
+It may be conjectured
+
+It may be imagined
+
+It may be plausibly objected
+
+It may be rightly said
+
+It may be useful to trace
+
+It may be worth your while to keep in view
+
+It may indeed be unavoidable
+
+It may not be altogether certain
+
+It may not be uninteresting to any of you
+
+It may or may not be true
+
+It may, perhaps, seem wonderful
+
+It may seem a little strange
+
+It may still more probably be said
+
+It must be a cause of delight
+
+It must be borne in mind
+
+It must be the verdict of history
+
+It must create astonishment
+
+It must doubtless be admitted
+
+It must ever be recollected
+
+It must never be forgotten
+
+It must not be supposed
+
+It must seem to every thoughtful man
+
+It needs scarcely be said
+
+It now becomes my pride and privilege
+
+It only remains now to speak
+
+It ought to animate us
+
+It proves a great deal
+
+It remains only to speak briefly
+
+It remains that I inform you of
+
+It remains that I should say a few words
+
+It reminds me of an anecdote
+
+It reminds one of the compliment
+
+It requires no effort of imagination
+
+It scarcely seems to be in keeping
+
+It seems almost desperate to think of
+
+It seems almost incredible
+
+It seems now to be generally admitted
+
+It seems strange to be told
+
+It seems then that on the whole
+
+It seems to me a striking circumstance
+
+It seems to me idle to ask
+
+It seems to me singularly appropriate
+
+It seems to me the primary foundation
+
+It seems to me unphilosophical
+
+It should always be borne in mind
+
+It should be remembered
+
+It so happens
+
+It sometimes seems to me
+
+It still remains to be observed
+
+It strikes me with wonder
+
+It suggests at the outset
+
+It summons our imagination
+
+It surely is not too much to expect
+
+It therefore astonishes me
+
+It used to be a reproach
+
+It was a brilliant answer
+
+It was a fine and delicate rebuke
+
+It was a fit and beautiful circumstance
+
+It was a propitious circumstance    [propitious = auspicious, favorable]
+
+It was certainly a gracious act
+
+It was in the full understanding
+
+It was my good fortune
+
+It was not to be expected
+
+It was said by one who ought to know
+
+It was, therefore, inevitable
+
+It was under these circumstances
+
+It will appeal to
+
+It will appear from what has been said
+
+It will be asked me how
+
+It will be easy to say too much
+
+It will be easy to trace the influence
+
+It will be evident to you
+
+It will be idle to imply
+
+It will be interesting to trace
+
+It will be just as reasonable to say
+
+It will be rather to our advantage
+
+It will be recollected
+
+It will be seen at a glance
+
+It will be well and wise
+
+It will carry out my meaning more fully
+
+It will, I suppose, be denied
+
+It will not be expected from me
+
+It will not be safe
+
+It will not do for a man to say
+
+It will not, I trust, be concluded
+
+It will not surely be objected
+
+It will not take many words to sum up
+
+It will thus be seen
+
+It would be a misfortune
+
+It would be a proud distinction
+
+It would be a very remarkable fact
+
+It would be absurd to pretend
+
+It would be an inexcusable omission
+
+It would be idle for me
+
+It would be imprudent in me
+
+It would be invidious for me   [invidious = rousing ill will, animosity]
+
+It would be natural on such an occasion
+
+It would be no less impracticable
+
+It would be out of place here
+
+It would be preposterous to say
+
+It would be presumptuous in me
+
+It would be the height of absurdity
+
+It would be unfair to praise
+
+It would be unjust to deny
+
+It would be well for us to reflect
+
+It would indeed be unworthy
+
+It would seem perhaps most fitting
+
+
+J
+
+Just the reverse is true
+
+
+L
+
+Language is inadequate to voice my appreciation
+
+Lastly, I do not understand
+
+Lastly, it can not be denied
+
+Less than this could not be said
+
+Lest I should be accused of quibbling
+
+Let all of us labor in this work
+
+Let anyone imagine to himself
+
+Let anyone who doubts
+
+Let everyone consider
+
+Let it be clearly understood, I repeat it
+
+Let it be remembered
+
+Let it not be objected
+
+Let it not be supposed that I impute
+                       [impute = relate to a particular cause or source]
+
+Let me add another thing
+
+Let me add my final word
+
+Let me add one other hint
+
+Let me also say a word in regard
+
+Let me answer these questions
+
+Let me ask you to imagine
+
+Let me ask your leave to propose
+
+Let me be allowed to devote a few words
+
+Let me call attention to another fact
+
+Let me commend to you
+
+Let me direct your attention now to
+
+Let me entreat you to examine
+
+Let me give one more instance
+
+Let me give one parting word
+
+Let me give you an illustration
+
+Let me here make one remark
+
+Let me here say
+
+Let me hope that I have said enough
+
+Let me illustrate again
+
+Let me make myself distinctly understood
+
+Let me make use of an illustration
+
+Let me not be thought offensive
+
+Let me now conclude with
+
+Let me once more urge upon you
+
+Let me protest against the manner
+
+Let me quite temperately defend
+
+Let me rather make the supposition
+
+Let me say a practical word
+
+Let me simply declare
+
+Let me tell you an interesting reminiscence
+
+Let me thank you once more
+
+Let me urge you earnestly
+
+Let no man congratulate himself
+
+Let our conception be enlarged
+
+Let our object be
+
+Let that question be answered by
+
+Let the facts be granted
+
+Let these instances suffice
+
+Let this be the record made
+
+Let this inspire us with abhorrence of
+
+Let us approach the subject from another side
+
+Let us attempt a survey
+
+Let us be perfectly just
+
+Let us be quite practical
+
+Let us bear perpetually in mind
+
+Let us begin at the beginning
+
+Let us begin by examining
+
+Let us briefly review
+
+Let us brush aside once for all
+
+Let us cherish
+
+Let us confirm our opinion
+
+Let us consider for a moment
+
+Let us devote ourselves
+
+Let us discard all prejudice
+
+Let us do all we can
+
+Let us draw an illustration
+
+Let us endeavor to understand
+
+Let us enumerate
+
+Let us figure to ourselves
+
+Let us for the moment put aside
+
+Let us get a clear understanding
+
+Let us heed the voice
+
+Let us hope and believe
+
+Let us hope that future generations
+
+Let us imitate
+
+Let us inquire also
+
+Let us labor and pray
+
+Let us likewise remember
+
+Let us look briefly at a few particulars
+
+Let us look nearer home
+
+Let us not be fearful
+
+Let us not be misled
+
+Let us not be misunderstood
+
+Let us not flatter ourselves
+
+Let us not for a moment forget
+
+Let us not limit our view
+
+Let us now apply the views presented
+
+Let us now consider the characteristics
+
+Let us now see the results
+
+Let us now turn our consideration
+
+Let us observe this analogy
+
+Let us pass on to another fact
+
+Let us pause a moment
+
+Let us push the inquiry yet further
+
+Let us rather listen to
+
+Let us reflect how vain
+
+Let us remember this
+
+Let us remind ourselves
+
+Let us resolve
+
+Let us scrutinize the facts
+
+Let us suppose, for argument's sake
+
+Let us suppose the case to be
+
+Let us take, for instance
+
+Let us, then, be assured
+
+Let us, then, be worthy of
+
+Let us, therefore, say once for all
+
+Let us try to form a mental picture
+
+Let us turn to the contemplation of
+
+Let your imagination realize
+
+Like all citizens of high ideals
+
+Likely enough
+
+Little wonder therefore
+
+Long have I been convinced
+
+Look at it in another way
+
+Look at some of these questions
+
+Look at the situation
+
+
+M
+
+Mainly, I believe
+
+Making allowances for differences of opinion
+
+Many of us have had the good fortune
+
+Many of you, perhaps, recollect
+
+May I ask you to believe
+
+May I not speak here
+
+May I try to show that every effort
+
+May I venture to suggest
+
+May it not also be advanced
+
+May the day come quickly
+
+Meantime it is encouraging to think
+
+Meanwhile let us freely recognize
+
+Men are in the habit of saying
+
+Men are telling us nowadays
+
+Men everywhere testify
+
+More and more it is felt
+
+More than once have I had to express
+
+More than this need not be said
+
+Moreover, I have insisted
+
+Moreover, I would counsel you
+
+Moreover, when we pass judgment
+
+Much has been said and written about
+
+My appreciation has been quickened
+
+My belief, therefore, is
+
+My duty is to endeavor to show
+
+My experience tells me
+
+My first duty is to express to you
+
+My friends, do you really believe
+
+My friends, I propose
+
+My heart tells me
+
+My idea, therefore, is
+
+My last criticism upon
+
+My mind is not moved by
+
+My mind most perfectly acquiesces
+
+My next objection is
+
+My own private opinion is
+
+My present business is
+
+My regret is intensified by the thought
+
+
+N
+
+Nay, I boldly say
+
+Nay, it will be a relief to my mind
+
+Nay, there is a general feeling
+
+Need I say that I mean
+
+Neither should you deceive
+
+Never before have I so strongly felt
+
+Never can I cease to feel
+
+Never did there devolve
+
+Never for a moment believe
+
+Never have I felt so forcibly
+
+Never was a weaker defense attempted
+
+Never was there a greater mistake
+
+Never was there an instance
+
+Nevertheless we can admit
+
+Next, from what has been said it is plain
+
+Next, I consider
+
+Next, it will be denied
+
+No argument can overwhelm a fact
+
+No defense is to be found
+
+No distinct test can be named
+
+No doubt, in the first instance
+
+No doubt there are many questions
+
+No doubt to most of us
+
+No finer sentence has come down to us
+
+No greater service could be rendered
+
+No longer do we believe
+
+No man regrets more than I do
+
+No one can feel this more strongly
+
+No one can, I think, pretend
+
+No one can see the end
+
+No one here, I am sure
+
+No one, I suppose, would say
+
+No one, I think, can fail to observe
+
+No one, I think, will dispute the statement
+
+No one need to exaggerate
+
+No one will accuse me
+
+No true man ever believes
+
+None can have failed to observe
+
+Nor am I disparaging or discouraging
+
+Nor can I forget either
+
+Nor can it justly be said
+
+Nor can we afford to waste time
+
+Nor can we forget how long
+
+Nor can we now ask
+
+Nor do I believe
+
+Nor do I doubt
+
+Nor do I pretend
+
+Nor do I think there can be found
+
+Nor does it matter much
+
+Nor has there been wanting
+
+Nor indeed am I supposing
+
+Nor is it a fair objection
+
+Nor is it probable
+
+Nor is this all
+
+Nor let me forget to add here
+
+Nor must I be understood as saying
+
+Nor must it be forgotten
+
+Nor need we fear to speak
+
+Nor should any attempt be made
+
+Nor will history fail to record
+
+Nor will I enlarge on the matter
+
+Not at all
+
+Not only so
+
+Not that I quarrel with
+
+Nothing but the deepest sense
+
+Nothing can be further from the truth
+
+Nothing could be clearer
+
+Nothing could be more striking
+
+Nothing is more common in the world
+
+Nothing that you can do
+
+Notwithstanding all that has been said
+
+Notwithstanding all this, I hold
+
+Now, bear with me when I say
+
+Now comes the question
+
+Now, comparing these instances together
+
+Now, from these instances it is plain
+
+Now, having spoken of
+
+Now, I admit
+
+Now, I am far from denying
+
+Now, I am far from undervaluing
+
+Now, I am justified in calling this
+
+Now, I am obliged to say
+
+Now, I do not wish you to believe
+
+Now, I have a closing sentence or two
+
+Now, I pass on to consider
+
+Now, I shall not occupy your time
+
+Now, I understand the argument
+
+Now, I will undertake to say
+
+Now, I wish to call your attention
+
+Now, if you will clearly understand
+
+Now, is there any ground or basis for
+
+Now, it is an undoubted fact
+
+Now, it is evident
+
+Now, it is not at all strange
+
+Now, it is unquestioned
+
+Now, let me speak with the greatest care
+
+Now, let me stop a moment
+
+Now, let us consider
+
+Now, observe, my drift
+
+Now, sir, I am truly horrified
+
+Now, the answer we should give
+
+Now, the question here at issue
+
+Now, the world will say
+
+Now, there is a close alliance between
+
+Now, this is precisely the danger
+
+Now, this is to some extent
+
+Now, understand me definitely
+
+Now, we do not maintain
+
+Now, we will inquire
+
+Now, what I want you to realize
+
+Now, with regard to
+
+Now, you will allow me to state
+
+Now, you will understand from this
+
+
+O
+
+Observe again
+
+Occasionally you ought to read
+
+Of course I am aware
+
+Of course I am putting an impossible case
+
+Of course I can not be taken to mean
+
+Of course I do not maintain
+
+Of course I do not stop here
+
+Of course I would not allow
+
+Of course much may be said
+
+Of course these remarks hold good
+
+Of course we may, if we please
+
+Of course you will sympathize
+
+Of one thing, however, I am certain
+
+Of this briefly
+
+Of this statement I will only say
+
+Of this truth I shall convince you by
+
+On a review of the whole subject
+
+On occasions of this kind
+
+On such a day as this
+
+On the contrary, I am assuming
+
+On the occasion to which I refer
+
+On the other hand, it is clear
+
+On the whole, then, I observe
+
+On this auspicious occasion
+
+On this point I do not mean to dwell
+
+On this subject you need not suspect
+
+Once again, there are those
+
+Once more I emphasize
+
+Once more let me try to put into words
+
+One additional remark
+
+One almost wishes
+
+One can not decline to note
+
+One concluding remark has to be made
+
+One fact is clear and indisputable
+
+One further word
+
+One important topic remains
+
+One is fairly tempted to wish
+
+One lesson history may be said to repeat
+
+One might be challenged to produce
+
+One of the ancients said
+
+One of the most commonly known
+
+One of the most extraordinary incidents
+
+One of the things I recollect with most pride
+
+One of these signs is the fact
+
+One or two points are made clear
+
+One other circumstance
+
+One other remark suggests itself
+
+One remark I will make
+
+One thing more will complete this question
+
+One thing which always impressed me
+
+One very striking tendency
+
+One word in courtesy I must say
+
+One word more in a serious vein
+
+One would naturally suppose
+
+Only so much do I know
+
+Opinions are divided as to whether
+
+Or to come nearer home
+
+Or to take but one other example
+
+Ordinarily speaking, such deductions
+
+Others may hold other opinions
+
+Ought we not to think
+
+Our thoughts wander back
+
+Over and above all this
+
+
+P
+
+Pardon me if
+
+Perhaps another reason why
+
+Perhaps, however, in speaking to you
+
+Perhaps, however, some among you will be
+
+Perhaps I may be best able to illustrate
+
+Perhaps I ought to say
+
+Perhaps it may be doubted
+
+Perhaps, sir, I am mistaken in
+
+Permit me frankly to say
+
+Permit me to add another circumstance
+
+Permit me to bring home to you
+
+Personally, I am far too firm a believer
+
+Pray, sir, let me say
+
+
+R
+
+Read but your history aright
+
+Recollect, sir
+
+Reflections such as these
+
+Rely upon it
+
+Remember, I do not seek to
+
+Remembering some past occurrences
+
+Returning, then, to the consideration
+
+
+S
+
+Seriously, then, do I beg you
+
+Shall I tell you
+
+Shall we complain
+
+Should there be objection, I answer
+
+Since, then, it is provided
+
+Since, then, this is the case
+
+Sir, with all my heart, I respond
+
+So accustomed are we
+
+So at least it seems to me
+
+So far as I know
+
+So far as my observation and experience goes
+
+So far in general
+
+So I say to you
+
+So it comes to pass
+
+So long as we continue to love truth and duty
+
+So men are asking
+
+So much at first sight
+
+So much on this subject
+
+So that I may venture to say
+
+So that if you were persuaded
+
+So then ought we also
+
+So, to add one other example
+
+So, too, I may go on to speak
+
+So when I hear people say
+
+Some have insisted
+
+Some of you can recall the time
+
+Some of you may think this visionary
+
+Some of you will remember
+
+Some one will perhaps object
+
+Some prejudice is attached
+
+Some writer has said
+
+Sometimes I venture to think
+
+Sometimes it may happen
+
+Speaking in this place
+
+Startling as this may appear to you
+
+Stating only the truth, I affirm
+
+Still another encouraging fact
+
+Still further
+
+Still I can not part from my subject
+
+Still I have generally found
+
+Still I imagine you would consider it
+
+Still I know what answer I can make to
+
+Still it may with justice be said
+
+Still one thing more
+
+Still we ought to be grateful
+
+Strange as it may seem
+
+Strictly in confidence, I do not think
+
+Strictly speaking, there is no such thing
+
+Such a doctrine is essentially superficial
+
+Such are the rather tolerant ideas
+
+Such considerations as these
+
+Such, I believe, would be the consequences
+
+Such illustrations are not frequent
+
+Such, in brief, is the story
+
+Such is steadfastly my opinion
+
+Such is the deep prejudice now existing
+
+Such is the intellectual view we take
+
+Such is the lesson which I am taught
+
+Such is the progress
+
+Such is the truth
+
+Such, sir, I conceive to be
+
+Such, then, is the true idea
+
+Such, too, is the characteristic of
+
+Suffer me to point out
+
+Suffice it to say here
+
+Summing up what I have said
+
+Suppose we turn our eyes to
+
+Surely I do not misinterpret
+
+Surely it is a paradox
+
+Surely it is not too much for me to say
+
+
+T
+
+Take another instance
+
+Take one of the most recent cases
+
+Take the simple fact
+
+Take this example
+
+Taking a broader view
+
+Taking the facts by themselves
+
+That is a further point
+
+That is a natural boast
+
+That is a pure assumption
+
+That is all that it seems necessary to me
+
+That is all very good
+
+That is far from my thoughts
+
+That is final and conclusive
+
+That is the lesson of history
+
+That is the question of questions
+
+That you may conceive the force of
+
+The answer is easy to find
+
+The answer is ready
+
+The belief is born of the wish
+
+The broad principle which I would lay down
+
+The circumstances under which we meet
+
+The climax of my purpose in this address
+
+The common consent of civilized mankind
+
+The conclusion is irresistible
+
+The confusing assertion is sometimes made
+
+The day is at hand
+
+The decided objection is raised
+
+The doctrine I am combating
+
+The doctrine is admirable
+
+The effect too often is
+
+The evolution of events has brought
+
+The fact has made a deep impression on me
+
+The fact has often been insisted
+
+The fact to be particularly noted
+
+The facts are clear and unequivocal
+
+The facts may be strung together
+
+The first business of every man
+
+The first counsel I would offer
+
+The first great fact to remember is
+
+The first point to be ascertained
+
+The first practical thought is
+
+The first remarkable instance was
+
+The first thing I wish to note
+
+The first thing that we have to consider
+
+The future historian will, no doubt
+
+The generous feeling that has promoted you
+
+The great mass of the people
+
+The hour is at hand
+
+The illustration is analogous
+
+The important thing is
+
+The instance I shall choose
+
+The irresistible tendency of
+
+The kindness with which I have been received
+
+The last and distinguishing feature is
+
+The latest inclination I have seen
+
+The lesson which we should take most to heart
+
+The main cause of all this
+
+The more you examine this matter
+
+The most concise tribute paid
+
+The most reasonable anticipation
+
+The most remarkable step forward
+
+The most striking characteristic
+
+The most sublime instance that I know
+
+The next point is
+
+The next question to be considered is
+
+The next thing I consider indispensable
+
+The occasion that calls us together
+
+The one central difference between
+
+The only course that remains open
+
+The only plea to be offered
+
+The other day I observed
+
+The paramount consideration is
+
+The perils that beset us here
+
+The pleasing duty is assigned me
+
+The point I have urged upon you is
+
+The point I wish a little further to speak of
+
+The point to which I shall call your attention
+
+The popular notion is
+
+The practical inference from all this
+
+The presence of this brilliant assemblage
+
+The pressing question is
+
+The prevalent opinion, no doubt
+
+The proof of this statement is to be found
+
+The question is deeply involved
+
+The question, then, recurs
+
+The remedy I believe to be
+
+The result, I fancy, has been
+
+The result of the whole
+
+The rule will always hold good
+
+The sacred voice of inspiration
+
+The same is true in respect of
+
+The scene all comes back
+
+The sentiment to which I am to respond
+
+The sentiment which you have expressed
+
+The simple rule and test
+
+The simple truth is
+
+The soundness of this doctrine depends
+
+The strongest proof I have
+
+The subject of the evening's address
+
+The subject which has been assigned to me
+
+The task has been placed in my hands
+
+The testimony of history is
+
+The theory seems at first sight
+
+The thought with which I shall close
+
+The time has manifestly now arrived
+
+The time is not far distant
+
+The time is now come for me
+
+The times are full of signs and warnings
+
+The toast I am about to propose to you
+
+The vain wish has sometimes been indulged
+
+The view I have been enforcing
+
+The view is more misleading
+
+The warmth and kindness of your reception
+
+The welcome that has been extended to me
+
+The whole story of civilization
+
+Then again, in corroboration
+
+Then again, when men say
+
+Then take the other side of the argument
+
+Then the question arises
+
+Then there is another story
+
+Then, too, it must be remembered
+
+There are certain old truths
+
+There are few spectacles
+
+There are hopeful signs of
+
+There are, I believe, many who think
+
+There are, indeed, exceptions
+
+There are, indeed, persons who profess
+
+There are many educated and intelligent people
+
+There are people in every community
+
+There are several reasons why
+
+There are some slight modifications
+
+There are some who are fond of looking at
+
+There are some who have an idea
+
+There are those of us who can remember
+
+There are those who wish
+
+There are two conflicting theories
+
+There can be but one answer
+
+There can be no doubt
+
+There has been a great deal of discussion lately
+
+There has been no period of time
+
+There have been differences of opinion
+
+There is a characteristic saying
+
+There is a class of person
+
+There is a common saying
+
+There is a conviction
+
+There is a degree of evidence
+
+There is a genuine grief
+
+There is a great deal of rash talking
+
+There is a growing disposition
+
+There is a large class of thinkers
+
+There is a lesson of profound interest
+
+There is a more important question
+
+There is a most serious lesson
+
+There is a multitude of facts
+
+There is a question of vital importance
+
+There is a very common tendency
+
+There is a vital difference of opinion
+
+There is an analogy in this respect
+
+There is an ancient story to the effect
+
+There is an eternal controversy
+
+There is another class of men
+
+There is another factor
+
+There is another object equally important
+
+There is another point of view
+
+There is another remarkable analogy
+
+There is another sense in which
+
+There is, at any rate, to be said
+
+There is but one consideration
+
+There is certainly no reason
+
+There is hardly any limit
+
+There is, however, another opinion
+
+There is, however, one caution
+
+There is little truth in
+
+There is no field of human activity
+
+There is no good reason
+
+There is no justification for
+
+There is no mistaking the purpose
+
+There is no more insidious peril
+
+There is no more striking exemplification
+
+There is no occasion to exaggerate
+
+There is no page of history
+
+There is no sense in saying
+
+There is no worse perversion
+
+There is not a shadow of evidence
+
+There is nothing more repulsive
+
+There is nothing overstated in this description
+
+There is nothing to show
+
+There is one story which it is said
+
+There is only one sense in which
+
+There is some difference of opinion
+
+There is something strangely interesting
+
+There is yet another distinction
+
+There is yet one other remark
+
+There ought certainly to be
+
+There was but one alternative
+
+There was one remarkable incident
+
+There will always be a number of men
+
+There will be no difficulty
+
+There yet remains
+
+Therefore, there is no possibility of a doubt
+
+Therein lies your responsibility
+
+These alone would not be sufficient
+
+These are enough to refute the opinion
+
+These are general counsels
+
+These are generalizations
+
+These are my reasons for
+
+These are points for consideration
+
+These considerations have great weight with me
+
+These exceptions do not hold in the case of
+
+These ideas naturally present themselves
+
+These instances are far from common
+
+These instances are indications
+
+These last words lead me to say
+
+These objections only go to show
+
+These questions I shall examine
+
+These various partial views
+
+They mistake the intelligence
+
+They would persuade you to
+
+Think for a moment
+
+Think of the cool disregard
+
+This absurdity arises
+
+This appeal to the common sense
+
+This argument is especially cogent     [cogent = powerfully persuasive]
+
+This, at least, is sure
+
+This being the case
+
+This being true
+
+This being undeniable, it is plain
+
+This being understood, I ask
+
+This brings me to a single remark
+
+This brings us to a subject
+
+This episode goes to prove
+
+This fact was soon made manifest
+
+This from the nature of the case
+
+This I conceive to be the business
+
+This I consider to be my own case
+
+This I have told you
+
+This is a general statement
+
+This is a very one-sided conception
+
+This is a very serious situation
+
+This is an astonishing announcement
+
+This is conceded by
+
+This is contrary to all argument
+
+This is doubtless the truth
+
+This is especially the case
+
+This is essentially an age of
+
+This is in the main just
+
+This is like saying
+
+This is not all
+
+This is not the main point of objection
+
+This is not the occasion or the place
+
+This is obvious
+
+This is on the whole reasonable
+
+This is only another illustration of
+
+This is owing in great measure to
+
+This is precisely what we ought to do
+
+This is said in no spirit of
+
+This is suggested to us
+
+This is the design and intention
+
+This is the great fact
+
+This is the main point on which the inquiry turns
+
+This is the meaning of
+
+This is the obvious answer
+
+This is the point I want to impress upon you
+
+This is the point of view
+
+This is the position of our minds
+
+This is the radical question
+
+This is the sentiment of mankind
+
+This is the starting-point
+
+This is the sum
+
+This is to be found in the fact
+
+This is what I am led to say
+
+This is what may be objected
+
+This is why I take the liberty
+
+This language is plain
+
+This leads me to the question
+
+This leads us to inquire
+
+This may be said without prejudice
+
+This might be illustrated at length
+
+This much is certain
+
+This sentiment was well-nigh universal
+
+This, surely, is the conclusion
+
+This, then, is the answer
+
+This, then, is the drift of my illustration
+
+This, then, is what I mean by saying
+
+This will be evident at once
+
+This you can not deny
+
+Those who have watched the tendencies
+
+Thus a great deal may be done
+
+Thus analogy suggests
+
+Thus far, I willingly admit
+
+Thus I am led on to another remark
+
+Thus if you look into
+
+Thus instances occur now and then
+
+Thus it comes to pass
+
+Thus my imagination tells me
+
+Thus much, however, I may say
+
+Thus much I may be allowed to say
+
+Thus much may be sufficient to recall
+
+Thus we see
+
+Time would not permit me
+
+To a man of the highest public spirit
+
+To avoid all possibility of being misunderstood
+
+To be more explicit
+
+To be sure, we sometimes hear
+
+To bring the matter nearer home
+
+To convince them of this
+
+To feel the true force of this argument
+
+To illustrate
+
+To make my story quite complete
+
+To me, however, it would appear
+
+To my way of conceiving such matters
+
+To prevent misapprehension
+
+To some it may sound like a paradox
+
+To sum up all that has been said
+
+To sum up in one word
+
+To take a very different instance
+
+To the conclusion thus drawn
+
+To the enormous majority of persons
+
+To these general considerations
+
+To this I answer
+
+To this it will be replied
+
+To what other cause can you ascribe
+
+To-day, as never before
+
+Treading close upon the heels
+
+Tried by this standard
+
+True it is
+
+True, there are difficulties
+
+Truly it is a subject for astonishment
+
+Two things are made very clear

+
+Under all the circumstances

+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org.

+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate

+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
