Quote from Walt Disney, I have it in french, how is it translated in english ?
" La différence entre un rêve et un projet, c'est une date"
My try :
The difference between a dream and a plan, it is a date"
Thank you for your help.

Your translation is almost right, but the syntax is still French. In English we'd keep it all as one grammatical clause, with no need to have a subject (C'est/It is). It would just be
'The difference between a dream and a plan is a date.'
I couldn't find a quote from Disney, but the nearest well-known quote like this is:
'The difference between a dream and a goal is a deadline.'
