It has been said, "I think therefore I am." *
But in expanse, "I am therefore I want."
"I want therefore I need."
"I need therefore I work."
"I work therefore I earn."
"I earn therefore I save."
"I save therefore I invest."
"I invest therefore I care."
"I care therefore I serve."
"I serve therefore I give."
"I give therefore I love."
"I love therefore I pray."
"I pray therefore I kneel."
"I kneel therefore I bow."
"I bow therefore I am thankful."
"I am thankful and therefore I am blessed."

*Rene Decartes, French Philosopher, from Discourse on Method, 1637

Footnote: This is a progression of thought stemming from Rene Decartes' famous line. Notice how in its entirety, it forms the capital letter, "I," so neatly in Roman font.
