"Cogito ergo sum" or "I think, therefore, I am", was said be a French philosopher, Renee Descartes (pronounced Renay Daycart).

The flaw in his system of philosophy was that he was trying to get to the root of what could be known with a certainty. His approach, while novel, places consciousness in primacy to existence, whereas existence must of necessity always predicate consciousness.

How does Descartes arrive at his distinction between mind and matter?

Descartes arrives at his distinction between mind and matter through his method of doubt, where he questions the certainty of all his beliefs. He concludes that while the existence of the external world may be uncertain, the existence of his own mind as a thinking thing is indubitable. This leads to his famous formulation of the mind-body dualism.
