“There is only one step from the sublime to the ridiculous.”
— Napoleon Bonaparte

Simplified Meaning:
Imagine you are doing something really wonderful and impressive, like performing a beautiful dance at a big event. Everyone is amazed and claps for you. Then, suddenly, you trip and fall in a funny way. What was once impressive has quickly turned into something silly. This happens because sometimes, the line between doing something great and doing something foolish is very thin. In life, be aware that even the best plans can go wrong with just a small mistake. Understanding this can help you stay grounded and not get too confident, because you know how quickly things can change from great to not-so-great.
