[50.1] ὅσα προτίθεται, τούτοις ὡς νόμοις, ὡς ἀσεβήσων, ἂν παραβῇς, ἔμμενε. ὅ τι δʼ ἂν ἐρῇ τις περὶ σοῦ, μὴ ἐπιστρέφου· τοῦτο γὰρ οὐκ ἔτʼ ἔστι σόν.

[50.1] Whatever principles you set before yourself, abide by them as though they were laws and you would be guilty of impiety if you transgressed them. But pay no heed to whatever anyone may say about you, for that is no longer yours.
