History is the best judge
good or bad, angel or devil, history will tell, you cannot be your own judge, and people in power cannot be the final judge either, if you bragged too much and proclaim you are a hero, or if the people in power intentional wronged you and blamed you while you had actually been a real hero, all of these don't matter, history will know who's right, who's wrong.

歷史自有定論 history will be the judge/only history can decide
Not sure if 自有定论 is a rhetorical question or a statement here:
Of a lifetime of good and evil, who can be the judge?
or
Of a lifetime of good and evil, only the self can judge.
