I really want to use the quote from Harry Potter, when Dumbledore says "It does not do well to dwell on dreams and forget to live" but I want it in Gaelic. Can someone please translate for me???

The English construction is a bit awkward in Irish...so I've rephrased it a bit.

B'fhearr duit gan trácht fada ar brionglóidí a dhéanamh sul má ndéanann tú dearmad ar an tsaol.
You would be better not to dwell on dreams lest you forget about life.

You'd also be better to wait for confirmation.
