The earliest version of this quotation I found so far is the following:

"I am in a humour at present to commune no thoughts but by own."
(Archibald Boyd, 1856)

Would that be what you have in mind? Please let me know.

Regards,
Scriptor

Although this could be a very early form on which the quote is based,
the quote I am thinking of sounds more similar to the way I phrased. 
Unfortunately, that is about all I know-- sorry, and thanks for your
help.

Sounds like something Thomas More or another early theologian or a
philosopher could have said when asked to refute his thesis.  Galileo,
Augustinus, to broaden the field. ??  Socrates ???
