I think every comment and every topic on this site should be considered as having "Please correct" at the end by default. After all, isn't it a language learning site? If someone doesn't want to be corrected, let them bother themselves writing "Please don't correct" at the end of their comments.

Sudeep...

First of all, thank you Richard for three beautiful quotes and some information about H. Jackson Brown, Jr. PERFECT

When it comes to "Love", it's a beautiful word with lovely feelings yet a complex thing to explain. PERFECT

It has many definitions depending on the experiences of people. PERFECT

So, there should not be any single definition to OF or FOR this word!

Yes, I agree with this quote because when our happiness is more important than others, we call it selfishness, but if we care for others, then we can say it's our love:) PERFECT

It's also true about opportunity! Opportunity favors those who are always ready to welcome it anywhere, anytime. PERFECT

Very true! Children try to imitate their parents who always stay around them round the clock. PERFECT
[HERE YOU COULD USE THE EXPRESSION 24/7 IN PLACE OF/IN LIEU OF "round the clock" ]

They are considered the first teacherS or sometimes the role modelS in the life of a baby.

So, the way they behave IS [COULD USE "dictates"] the way their children become! ["will be" CAN BE USED IN LIEU OF "become"]

Please correct my thoughts and mistakes if there is ARE any.

Love is when you have the feeling to die due to the lack of opportunities to dance with him/her through the "ballrooms of life." You with all your wonderful characteristics, all your readiness to give him/her your best (even your money), being a wonderful role-model for your unborn children, have waited too long on the prince/princess of your dreams.--

I played a little with the quotes. :-) I hope not to have infringed any copyrights. Please correct.

Thank you again, Richard, for your inspiring task.
