DID GLENN BECK RIP-OFF IMMANUEL KANT?

I know that seems as preposterous as many of Beck's own statements but I couldn't help wondering after I read part of a letter from Kant to Moses Mendelssohn (April 8, 1766) about a short book Kant had written about Swedenborg:
"It is, indeed, true that I think many things with the clearest conviction and to my great satisfaction, which I never have the courage to say; but I will never say anything I do not think"

Glenn Beck has said something very close to this on both his radio show and his TV show:
I mean, you know, I've been telling my producers for a while. There are many things that I believe that I shall never say, but I shall never say the things that I do not believe.
