"At their first appearance innovators have always been derided as fools and madmen."
Simplified meaning
When people come up with new ideas, others often think they are crazy or foolish. This is common because new ideas can seem strange or hard to understand at first. For example, when the Wright brothers wanted to build a flying machine, many people laughed at them and thought it was impossible. However, they believed in their idea and kept working on it until they succeeded. This shows that just because an idea seems odd at the beginning doesn't mean it's bad. If you have a new idea, don't be discouraged by negative reactions; keep trying and believe in yourself.
