Can someone help me with one sentence?

Hi,

I am trying to formulate a sentence that says you are responsible for your own actions, and the only judge you face is yourself.

I came up with this:
He only needs to account for himself.

Hi Clive thanks for the response.

i will use the first sentence. He is responsible for his own actions, and the only judge he faces is himself

Just to be sure and for the sake of learning English. The second sentence conveys the same message, right? Although the sentence is not concise, it is still usable.

He only needs to account for himself.

I don't get the same meaning from your version.

The original speaks of ''you', and your version speaks of 'he'.
