Quotations for balloon

Self-love is a balloon filled with wind, from which tempests emerge when pricked. [ Voltaire ]

A balloon sent up to ascertain the direction of the wind; any test of public feeling. [ French ]

God made man to go by motives, and he will not go without them, any more than a boat without steam, or a balloon without gas. [ Beecher ]

The habit of exaggeration in language should be guarded against; it misleads the credulous and offends the perceptive; it imposes on us the society of a balloon, when a moderately-sized skull would fill the place much better; it begets much evil in promising what it cannot perform, and we have often found the most glowing declarations of intended good services end in mere Irish vows. [ Eliza Cook ]
