While I've heard this quote in French, I think, more often than not the Latin is the preferred quotation: "Cogito ergo sum"

Tough one.
Can you be honest enough with yourself-and see who you are.

So that you can be honest with others?
Sure...after a few decades. Easy to say you're on an even keel, but don't downplay what you went through to get there! [Appreciated the post by the way, Michael.]
That said, let's see what type of introspection I gain in the next few decades. [;)]
