Before I'm accused of a Violation™, let me point out that one of the
five English words contains a punctuation mark.
(Still, the word is shown in all five dictionaries I checked.)

The famous claim from philosophy is often presented with a punctuation
mark which, although a different mark from the one mentioned in the
previous paragraph, lines up in the proper position with that other
mark when the five words are concatenated.

(I'm afraid my mention of "different marks" and "lining up" is
confusing.  Oh well, ignore this hint, or treat it as another puzzle!)
