Summary

This quote suggests that while tears and sweat may both be garnered through exertion or hardship, they have distinct outcomes. Tears are seen as a display of vulnerability and tend to elicit sympathy and understanding from others. On the other hand, sweat represents hard work and determination, and has the potential to bring about tangible change or progress. Therefore, the quote implies that while tears may evoke empathy, it is the sweat - symbolizing efforts and action - that can result in actual transformation or achievement.
