René Descartes. He was a highly influential French philosopher, mathematician, scientist, and writer. He has been dubbed the "Father of Modern Philosophy" and the "Father of Modern Mathematics," and much of subsequent Western philosophy is a reaction to his writings, which have been closely studied from his time down to the present day.
'Initially, Descartes arrives at only a single principle: thought exists. Thought cannot be separated from me, therefore, I exist (Discourse on the Method and Principles of Philosophy). Most famously, this is known as cogito ergo sum ("I think, therefore I am").'

Twizzla on her myspace page did.
Descartes "I think therefore I am."
I said "I am therefore I exist" - but that was after reading your question aloud.

Descartes said something similar "I think therefore I am." I would have to say someone who likes redundant statements said that.

perhaps you are thinking of René Descartes who once said "I think, therefore I am". I think that "I am therefore I exist" is pretty self-evident.

Nobody, until you did, I reckon!
The philosopher Descartes said, "cogito ergo sum", meaning, "I think, therefore I am"

Descartes said "I think, therefore I am." Is that what you mean?

Decarte (may be misspelled). He started by doubting everything, even his own existence. Then went on to say "I doubt, therefore I exist" (if he does not exist, he cannot doubt). Then he went on to say that doubt is imperfect. How can I know what imperfect is, unless I experienced perfection. There is not perfection in this world, therefore I experienced perfection in another (God).
