Follow your own course, and let people talk. -Alghieri Dante

Here are my versions:

(1)Walk on your own way,Let others say!

(2)Walk your own walk,Let others talk!

Do they have the similiar meaning too?Stick out tongue [:P]

Both your versions of the original quote are correct but the English is best in the original and not  good in (1) and a little better in (2).
You do not put a capital letter after a comer, and the word 'say' is incorrect. Speak or talk are correct.

Words don't have meanings, meanings have words.

Yes, you did!  Smile [:)]

Don't we say "walk your own way"?
