It's actually a very rough translation of the Latin "Cogito ergo sum" accurately translated as "I think, therefore I am. " This was the philosophical mantra of Rene Descarte in the late 1500s.

The act of thinking is proof that you are alive, that you are real, and that you are a conscious entity. The original quote was "Cogito ergo sum". The quote is attributed to René Descartes, a philosopher. It can also be translated as "I am thinking therefore I am existing".
