It was taking all my strength to sit still and not look at him.

It will take all our strength just to stand against him.

It took all her strength to stay exactly where she was.

It took all her strength to let go of him.

It had taken all her strength to go to the man who thought children were special.

She could feel him deep inside her now and knew it was taking all his strength to hold back.

But it took all her strength just to keep moving.

Do you have any idea how much strength that takes?

But even willing them away for a few hours took more strength than he had.
