Translating “Walk your own path. Let people talk.”


After all this time I think I finally have my translation of "Walk your own
path. Let people talk." But before I put it in my CAD program, I would like to
get an opinion on the word usage and grammar. Here is my translation:

> 汝の仁道は歩く。許すを放語。

I think the words are right but I am not sure about the grammar.




I will have a try.

[code]

    人ノ言ヲ懼レズ、己ノ道ヲ進メ
    ひとのげんをおそれず、おのれのみちをすすめ
    
[/code]

or

[code]

    己ノ道ヲ行キ、人ノ言フニ任セヨ
    おのれのみちをゆき、ひとのいうにまかせよ
    
[/code]

There is a saying I love very much, but much harder to understand than my
translations, if you are not familiar with 漢文.

[code]

    千万人ト雖モ吾往カン
    せんまんにんといえどもわれゆかん
    
    Original text:  自反而縮。雖千萬人吾往矣。 -- 孟子　公孫丑上
    Explanation given by 大辞林: 
    自ら省みて正しければ，敵対者や反対者がどんなに多くとも，恐れることなく自分の信ずる道を進もう。
