A PLEA FOR HELP FROM ANY ONE WHO KNOWS LATIN!

...or, who merely knows how to bastardize Latin.

Can anyone figure out the Latin translation or equivalent of "Don't get mad, get even"?

Operor non adepto iratus, adepto vel

It's not really great.

I should do it with do not be angry, become balanced

that would probably get a more accurate result.

but. well.. there it is.

Well, I just need something that sounds like a motto. Think I could get away with just "Non adepto iratus, adepto vel"?

Thank you so much for the suggestion, I just did so, so hopefully Blackletter will be able (and willing!) to give me a hand ^_^

I'm sure he will--I've been very apologetic and meebly about translations before, and he's brushed it aside, saying it's what he does.
