Friends are like fiddle strings, they must not be screwed to

Summary

This quote suggests that friendships should not be suffocating or overly controlling. Like the strings on a fiddle, which need just the right tension to produce a harmonious sound, friendships require a delicate balance. Exerting too much control or expecting too much from friends can strain the relationship. Allowing space, understanding, and flexibility in friendships is essential for a healthy and harmonious connection.

To admit then a right in the House of Representatives to demand, and to have as a matter of course, all the Papers respecting a negotiation with a foreign power, would be to establish a dangerous precedent. It does not occur that the inspection of the papers asked for, can be relative to any purpose under the cognizance of the House of Representatives, except that of an impeachment, which the resolution has not expressed. I repeat, that I have no disposition to withhold any information which the duty of my station will permit, or the public good shall require to be disclosed: and in fact, all the Papers affecting the negotiation with Great Britain were laid before the Senate, when the Treaty itself was communicated for their consideration and advice. The course which the debate has taken, on the resolution of the House, leads to some observations on the mode of making treaties under the Constitution of the United States.
