I need a Latin motto for a theme on Solipsism?

I want a classical scholar to give me something in good classical Latin in the same form as the famous quote from  Descartes:

"Cogito ergo sum. I think therefore I am"I have tried word-for--word translations, and nothing  seems to fit the idea. As the saying goes, "I'll know it when I see it."It would be a translation of something like:I think, therefore you are, orHe thinks, therefore I exist (only in his mind)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solipsism

Ave atque vale!

Update:

I am thinking of something like "Cogito ergo sunt" although that doesn't exactly fit. The solipsistic idea is that all existence can be perceived only by a single individual.
