thinking might like-you
You might as well like yourself; just think about all the time you're gonna have to spend with you.

For reasons unknown to us, he started firing indiscriminately -- first at two individuals who happened to be in the bathroom and then at all students and staff who passed by the outside of that bathroom door.
build consensus consider deliberate door manner member open preference proposal rather reading reducing wishes
My door is always open to any member who wishes to build consensus on reducing unnecessary spending. My preference is to consider any proposal in a thoughtful, deliberate manner rather than reading about it in the newspaper.

We're leaving the House to people who either were born with a silver spoon in their mouth ... or couldn't get better jobs in the first place.
