Describe Demetrios here.
I'd be glad to. I'm 38 years old, and I'm one of the newer established authors. You can find out more about the things I have written on the page The Spectral Chronicles.
If you'd like to know more about me, here are the things I like. I'd be quite glad to make new friends here. :) My PM box is always open. You can also find me on Facebook under my name; Discord by “demetrios.hawaii”; and Instagram by “demetrios 379”.
I am also a Freemason.

My Favorite Quotations
Known Sources
- “Do not anticipate trouble, or worry about what may never happen. Stay in the sunlight.”
- “You don’t have to change much to change everything.”
- “Humanity takes itself too seriously; it is the world’s original sin. If the caveman had known how to laugh, history would have been different.”
- “The more laws, the less justice.”
- “If we let things terrify us, then life will not be worth living.”
- “To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.”
- “It’s kind of fun to do the impossible.”
- “Don’t worry about the world ending today. It’s already tomorrow in Australia.”
- “You should steer clear of negative people. They have a problem for every solution.”
- “For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: ‘If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?’ And whenever the answer has been ‘No’ for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.”
- “No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.”
- “Kind words can be short and easy to speak but their echoes are truly endless.”
- “Whatever you want to do, do it now. There are only so many tomorrows.”
- “Never get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life.”
- “Forgiveness is an absolute necessity for continued human existence.”
- “I will not allow anyone to walk through my mind with their dirty feet.”
- “Everyone you meet always asks if you have a career, are married, or own a house as if life was some kind of grocery list. But no one ever asks you if you are happy.”
- “The two most important days of your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.”
- “Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.”
- “If you don’t talk to strangers, your life is so limited. If you’re careful about what you eat, you’ll never try anything adventurous.”
- “I believe in Christianity for the same reason I believe that the Sun has risen. Not only because I see it, but because by it, I see everything else.”
- “The positive thinker sees the invisible, feels the intangible, and achieves the impossible.”
- “Never regret anything that made you smile.”
- “You can’t use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.”
Unknown Sources but Still Good Advice
- “If you want people to like you, you have to like people.”
- “In America at least, the retirement age is 67, and the average life expectancy is 78. So, you have to work hard for 50 years in order to maybe enjoy 11 of them?”
- “Worrying doesn’t stop bad things from happening. It stops you from enjoying the good.”
- “Never let waiting become a habit. Follow your dreams and take risks. Life is happening now.”
- “Don’t change yourself to make people like you. Just be yourself and the right people will love you.”
- “Choose a job that you love, and you’ll never have to work a day in your life.”
- “Call me crazy if you must, but I actually enjoy seeing people be happy and successful. Life is a journey, not a competition.”
- “Be careful with your words. Once they are said, they can be only forgiven, not forgotten.”
- “Wish others well. Their success won’t interfere with yours.”
- “I may not always be there with you, but I will always be there for you.”
- “Blowing out another person’s candle won’t make yours shine any brighter.”
