“The sole difference between myself and a madman is the fact that I am not mad!”
— Salvador Dali

Simplified Meaning:
A man is saying that the only thing that sets him apart from a crazy person is that he isn't actually crazy. He knows that his ideas might seem strange or unusual to others. However, he's confident that he's still thinking clearly and not out of his mind. Think of an inventor with wild ideas that no one believes can work. The inventor keeps going, knowing he's not mad, even if others can't see his vision yet. This tells us that believing in our ideas, even if they seem odd to others, doesn't mean we're crazy—it might just mean we're ahead of our time.
