The phrase is a play on words involving idiomatic (Proverb) and distinct meanings of go and tough. In context, the going means the situation, gets tough means becomes difficult, the tough means people who are strong or enduring, and get going means become fully engaged. Taken together, the meaning of the phrase is When the situation becomes difficult, the strong will work harder to meet the challenge. Another interpretation could mean, Those who act tough and proud will vacate a situation when it becomes difficult lest they be proven not as tough as they appear to be. Yet another interpretation could mean, When the situation becomes almost impossible, those who are truly strong are wise enough to pull out, rather than being totally decimated. youtube/watch?v=TGtWWb9emYI&feature=player_embedded
