"Don't get mad, get everything".

Ivana Trump (1949- ) is a Czech-born Olympic skier, who emigrated to the USA where she met and married American property millionaire Donald Trump. When they divorced, Ivana is reported to have won a settlement of more than 20 million dollars.

*mad in American English means angry.

    I prefer ‘An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind’. I don´t like the revenge because it isn´t healthy for your mind. "Let time go by" is the best option.
