Motto
Cognito Ergo Sum - I think, therefore, I am
I think, therefore, I am, I am being, I am alive. This mind, this intellect, this thrilling power which abides within me gives me my place in the universe, distinguishes me from lower forms of animal evolution, links me with that perfect entity outside myself by which I measure my own imperfection, my doubt, my fear, my uncertainty, all the manifestations of my finite quality, unites me eternally with that which I call God. I think, therefore, I am. In this consideration of the frontier of the mind, we might extend the Cartesian definition to include a corollary. If I do not think, then in the evolution of what my life's significance is, compared to what it might be, then I am not.
