In an unrivaled degree
On a grand scale
Of profound significance
Beyond expression
On a world scale
In a rare degree
Of rarest beauty
In a notable way
In a conspicuous degree
On a grandiose scale
The weightiest factors in the whole matter is--
The supremest moments of life
Of the finest sort
The acme of--
Demonstrated beyond all possibility of contradiction
As sure as God is sifting out the chaff
With mathematical certainty
That is one incontrovertible fact
In an unmistakable way
One conclusion is inescapable
An absolutely logical sequence of events
There is no wink of doubt about that--
By proof positive
To make assurance doubly sure
With unerring instinct
It leads to the inevitable conclusion that--
No doubt is possible that--
It is inevitable that--
Made us sure beyond a peradventure
Few events are better attested than--
They know to a dead certainty that--
It is safe to infer that--
Almost invariably
Unmistakable evidence
Conclusive evidence
Well-authenticated testimony
The conclusion cannot be escaped that--
A foregone conclusion.

I speak from certainties.
Coriolanus, I., 2
Indisputably right
There is no gainsaying the fact that——
As certain as the multiplication table
We can rest absolutely assured that——
Beyond all dispute
The sure mark of a——
With entire certainty
It has the ring of finality in it
A lurking suspicion all the while that——
A chronic distrust
An uncertain sense of something hidden
Timid misgivings
In such a way as to raise a mild suspicion that——
Inclined to be suspicious
Not the most distant suspicion of——
Tortured by suspicion
A suspicion born of the fact that——
I cannot help suspecting that——
I smell a device.
Twelfth Night, II., 3
The insinuation has a foundation in fact
It is the fashion of unthinking persons to——
Emblematic of the fact that——
The appearance for the thing
The form for the substance
The law for the essence
The sign for the thing signified
Of a figurative import
The knack of setting everything and everybody by the ears
There is need of a lady’s hand
It was not placatory but rather exasperating
Wholly indifferent to expediency
The intention was good but the method was wrong
Foolhardy
He is impossible
He is going over fool’s hill and is only part way over

I hope to return the compliment
A bad time of it
I have had some very trying days
In the full clutch of circumstance
As ill-luck would have it, I——
Tried in the crucible of sacrifice and suffering
It is a tragedy rather than an epic
In these turbulent days
An adverse wind blowing from an unexpected quarter
I have had an affecting business on my hands
A child of hard circumstances
Sorely vexed by——
I am in a very pretty pickle
I would gladly see an end to bickering
Swept with the besom of destruction
A troubled and precarious existence
Hard hit
A fact of great and sinister import
Bad news has wings
He must tread the wine-press alone
An ill-advised and unfortunate attempt to stir up strife
His heart as heavy as lead
A fountain of trouble
A series of heart-burnings
Turbulent times
The hour of misfortune
Acquainted with the painful problems of life
Painful vicissitudes
Tasting the bitterness of life
All the while I was living in blissful ignorance of——
I was sweetly oblivious to the fact that——
In happy ignorance
Crass ignorance
He has plainly a lot to learn about——
The idea never occurred to them so far as any evidence goes to show
A model of blameless mediocrity
There is a dearth of knowledge about——
One half the world knows not how the other half lives
It will not do to further exalt our differences
All indissolubly linked together
A unity of effort
Too many cooks spoil the broth
He that hunts two hares will catch neither
Everybody’s business is nobody’s business
A long pull, a strong pull, and a pull all together
One and inseparable
Without the slightest friction
Pretty well in line with accustomed principles
Knit up with it
In perfect accordance with——
A happy blending of——
It is perfectly compatible with——
It is not until one has entered sympathetically into the conception of——
The result was a harmonious whole
We get on charmingly together
Into the scheme of things
Harmonious adjustment
He fixed his faith on an idol with feet of clay
A weak reed to lean upon
Of a less desirable kind
He does not cut a very good figure
It does but scant justice to——
I cannot settle my spirits to it
Not altogether prepossessing
There is an element of danger in it
It was sown in weakness
Efforts which were mere flashes in the pan
Wide of the mark
A sign of pusillanimity and cowardice
Not content with——
Who shall decide when doctors disagree
The inadequacy of certain features of the——
A crude business
A certain coarseness of fiber
Out of kilter
It did not have the desired effect
A plea to throw into the discard every sacrifice
A case in which back-stairs gossip figures as sober truth
It will not pass muster
It has many shortcomings
The argument is not so convincing to the modern mind
Notoriously unreliable
Utterly ineffective
No more backbone than a jellyfish
With very unpleasant consequences
Yielding to a passing impulse
He is persona non grata with——
Extremely vague
Not apparent at first sight
In a shadowy form
A hazy sea of memories
He left us quite uncertain as to his meaning
His meaning was at low visibility
A very vague and perfectly unconvincing answer
Words whose ambiguity have been used to throw doubt upon——
The salt of the earth
It has become a precious memory
An important adjunct
Indispensable qualities
Lasting acquisitions
Of inestimable value
Intrinsic worth
Ill blows the wind that profits nobody.
III. King Henry VI., II., 5
Of exceptional value
In every way calculated to insure the——
Decidedly worth while
Of high quality
Of unique and abiding value
A possession of transcendent value
Not measured by figures
Of the very first magnitude
Every man thinks his own copper gold
Whatever comes to his mill is grist
He is rich beyond all telling who——
It will be no inconsiderable acquisition to——
Of transcendent value
Than whom there could be no better
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
He who prizes little things is worthy of great ones
Would you know what money is? Go borrow some
A thing too much seen is little prized
As valuable as a Brazilian diamond
It is supremely worth while
A mine of wealth in itself
Of unusual value
Not to be underestimated
A tremendous asset
With sterling qualities
He is a man of solid acquirements
The most precious of all blessings
It merits serious attention
Of exceptional qualifications
Of no common sort
Appraised highly
A superior brand of——
It cumbers the ground
Of no particular moment
Reduced to a nullity
What is of no use is too dear as a gift
Ammunition which does not explode
It serves no useful purpose
It vanished into thin air
Cheap and tawdry
Arid and unfruitful
An inconsequential detail
Of only relative and temporary worth
My day has been horribly dispersive
A mere dilettante
Utterly repudiated
A matter of secondary moment
Of small consequence
That proves next to nothing
Like a cipher
It is a matter of small consequence.
King Richard II., V., 2
A trifle, some eight-penny matter.
I. King Henry IV., III., 3
A deal of skimble-skamble stuff.
I. King Henry IV., III., 1
It is idle to speculate on the outcome of——
It vanished like snow falling in the river
Unworthy of consideration
A dead issue
It matters not
It is immaterial
A seemingly inconsiderable circumstance
It is quite superfluous to——
Of no particular moment
It is idle to ask whether——
Of distinctly subordinate worth
Shrunk into insignificance
A petty matter of detail
Quite needless
Among the outworn things
Verified by all human experience
A fact obvious to any student of history
We have every assurance that——
We can disabuse our minds of the——
I would make assurance doubly sure
It may be safely asserted that——
Surely there can be no reasonable doubt that——
We can all be more patient in the assurance that——
The best possible testimony to the soundness of the method is that——
We are always ready to give an answer for the faith that is in us
There will not be the smallest impropriety in it
Men want to know beyond a doubt or cavil that——
It must be accompanied by irrevocable guarantees
From highly responsible sources assurances are given that——
We gave him every possible assurance
Make yourself perfectly easy about——
Pawn to me this your honor.
Timon of Athens, I., 1
A fit of nervous exasperation
Evidences of a reckless temper
An unpleasant passage of words
Impatient of delay
Exasperated beyond expression
Much piqued
Acting with the petulance of a child
Irritably self-conscious
Angry at the most minute provocation
Driven into nervous prostration
Thin-skinned in the presence of annoyances
Enough to imperil the habit of studied moderation of statement
The most exasperating of all nuisances
I was in the worst possible temper with——
Irritability that has some justification
I never before have known anything so provoking
He used most vigorous terms in referring to——
She hides all her vexation in her bosom
An error of the most exasperating sort
He is easily irritated
With the most astonishing perverseness
A weight of nerves without a mind
A few hot and bitter words
In utter exasperation
Petulant resentment
Sorely tired
A sore trial to his temper
It frets my soul to see——
A silly bit of petulance
A sulphurous state of mind
Exposed to petty tribulations
Exceedingly tantalizing
A suggestion of nervous tears
Very disconcerting
How uncomfortable is such an apprehension of——
Ugly weather
A great mercy
The mildewed hand of famine
The loss of prestige
The famine of the heart
The terrors of uncertainty
A glory divine
A tinge of irony
Squirming over it
Atrophy of will-power
An ox-like stolidity
Back to prodigal ways
A lesson in moderation
Business capacity
Straining at the leash of——
Very acutely said
A coign of vantage
The horror of sin
A flattering tale
No waster of words
In the very pits of tragic life
The germinal ideal
The strategic opportunity
The dew of youth
The passion of hate
A law unto itself
The sequence of events
In a state of siege
A narcotic to the mind
A realizable aim
Wise in their own eyes.

Financially quite at ease
He has ample means
He is well supplied with worldly goods
He has no straitened income
He has a bottomless purse
Able to liquidate all just debts
He is rich enough who owes nothing
From the cradle to the grave
From first to last
From alpha to omega
Until the last gun is fired
From the beginning to the end of time
Intent upon amassing things for himself
For the self-aggrandizement of——
Impatient of any advice
An entire lack of reverence for authority
In spite of remonstrances he——
Intoxicated with pride
A heart buried in the task of money-getting
He passes everything through the alembic of his own mind
He is a man of his own mind
He is a formidable man with ideas
He grasps the subject in all its bearings
His calculations are sound
He makes singularly few false steps
He is far too astute for that
A man of thoroughly democratic sympathies
It is one of his wise and cardinal rules that——
He is eminently sane
He is a man of rare sagacity
Justified by common sense
With some sense of the fitness of things
Full of sterling sense
He has an eye for essentials
We can show the rationale of——
We bless thee for all uplifting ministries
Unite us all by the bonds of tender sympathy
Thou hast done great things for us, whereof we are glad
In thy great love do thou nourish the hearts that are given over to sore trial
With thine own gentle hand dry the tears of sorrow
Heal with balm from heaven the wounded spirit
Our days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle
Thou only hast the keys of all power
Send sweet messages of hope and love to all for whom we ought to pray
Pity those who have no pity on themselves
Out of the fullness of thy grace send us answers that shall make us glad
Raise again every buried hope
Give life again to all our noblest ambitions
Behold what manner of love thou hast bestowed upon us that we should be called the sons of God
Thou art able to do exceeding abundantly above all we ask or think
Be thou with our dear ones——building up their homes and blessing their firesides
Unite us in the indissoluble fellowship of sympathy with the heart of Christ
Do thou speak comfortably to anxious hearts
Our days are a continuance of thy favor
We are living to praise thee
Inspire every soul with unusual gladness
Comfort those that mourn, may they be richer for their tears
Grant unto us the tender solaces of thy gospel, the sweet comfort of thy grace
We would make mention of thy loving kindness
Until we take our place in the city whose hills are light
Enable us to meet with gentleness and forbearance any opposition to our wishes
And when we shall have fulfilled thy purposes concerning us on earth may we be received into the everlasting mansions revealed to us through Jesus Christ our Lord
Fortify us by thy spirit against the temptations that await us
May the sweet influences of the Gospel gladden and redeem many hearts
Rule thou in our hearts
Fill us with holy thoughts and noble desires
May we be warned of sin and its dreadful consequences
We thank thee for the rich promises and precious hopes of the Gospel of thy Son
We would breathe into thine ear our gratitude for mercies so free
May our hearts glow with a renewed sense of thy love
(Fulfill in us Thy gracious promises)
Help us to cherish the heavenly disposition of Jesus Christ our Lord
Scatter the darkness from our minds by the beam of thy heavenly truth
Teach us how to attain that holiness which will make us holy like thee
Clothe us with all social and domestic graces
Help us to discharge our debt to the world
Daily we would supplicate thy mercy and protection
Make our duties plain before us
May we be inflexible in every good purpose
Unseal our spiritual vision
We pray for those who are languishing on beds of sickness and have wearisome days and nights assigned them
We are sorry that we are so fondly attached to the things that perish
Encompass our minds this day with thoughts of heaven
Wilt thou take us unto thy keeping this day
Pity our frailties
Inspire us with an abiding gratitude
In the defenseless hours of sleep thou hast preserved us
With the light of another morning we would lift our hearts to thee in grateful acknowledgment of thy goodness
Suffer not our ears to become dull to the cry of misery
May no day pass without thy blessing
May our hearts be open to the glad tidings
Keep us from distrustful thoughts
Give us a cheerful and unfailing confidence that Thou art at the heart of affairs
May our trials be borne with Christian meekness
May our difficulties work out for us some spiritual good
Encourage us in every right endeavor
May the thought that thou seest us check every wrong motive and evil impulse
Give us calmness and self-control under every disappointment and provocation
Fill our hearts with thy rich grace
Soften our sorrows
Grant us thy reviving grace
Fill us with thy perfect love
Cheer saddened hearts
In our spirits sweetly move
Sanctify our deep distress
Zealous of good works.
