Idioms and Phrases

A dependable person on whom one can lean in time of trouble, as in After Dad died Grandma was a tower of strength for the whole family . This expression, first recorded in 1549, originally was used most often to refer to God and heaven, but Shakespeare had it differently in Richard III (5:3): “Besides, the King's name is a tower of strength.”
