When the going gets tough, the tough get going!
This is a fun, common saying in English, but I'm not sure it has exactly the same meaning. This means: "When things get difficult, don't give up; instead be tough and strong and get moving to solve the problem."
A more literal translation might be: "Don't be a fool, be strong."
A more literal translation might be: "Don't be a fool, be strong."

Toughing not dulling
قال الأوس بن حارثة لابنه مالك: يا مالك: المنية ولا الدنية، والعتاب قبل العقاب، والتجلد لا التبلد، واعلم أن القبر خير من الفقر
ويقصد هنا التزم بالتجلد وابتعد عن التبلد

steadfastness rather than dullness
It is a tip to someone to be patient or steadfast but not to lose feelings and to avoid dullness or indolence.

firmness and not familiarity
التبلد is when you become over friendly....التجلد is rigidness, firmness...
