     Syn: Strength; vigor; might; energy; stress; vehemence;
          violence; compulsion; coaction; constraint; coercion.
  
     Usage: Force, Strength. Strength looks rather to power as
            an inward capability or energy. Thus we speak of the
            strength of timber, bodily strength, mental strength,
            strength of emotion, etc. Force, on the other hand,
            looks more to the outward; as, the force of
            gravitation, force of circumstances, force of habit,
            etc. We do, indeed, speak of strength of will and
            force of will; but even here the former may lean
            toward the internal tenacity of purpose, and the
            latter toward the outward expression of it in action.
            But, though the two words do in a few cases touch thus
            closely on each other, there is, on the whole, a
            marked distinction in our use of force and strength.
            ``Force is the name given, in mechanical science, to
            whatever produces, or can produce, motion.'' --Nichol.
            [1913 Webster]
  
                  Thy tears are of no force to mollify
                  This flinty man.                  --Heywood.
            [1913 Webster]
  
                  More huge in strength than wise in works he was.
                                                    --Spenser.
            [1913 Webster]
  
                  Adam and first matron Eve
                  Had ended now their orisons, and found
                  Strength added from above, new hope to spring
                  Out of despair.                   --Milton.
