i'm wondering if anyone can help me with translating this quote: "What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us; what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal."

thanks!

Quod pro ceteris atque pro terrarum orbe fecimus, manet et sempiternum est.

The complete sentence would be:

Quod pro nobis tantum fecimus nobiscum moritur; Quod autem pro ceteris atque pro terrarum orbe fecimus, manet et sempiternum est.

"sempiternum" could also be "immortale".
