I can't outdo Mr. Rippetoe here:
"Strength is the ability to produce force, and is the foundation of human physical existence. The production of force is the basis of our interaction with the environment. The improvement of our capacity to produce force improves the systemic integrity of our bodies, and improves the quality of our lives. And since strength is the basis of endurance, balance, coordination, accuracy and precision, mobility, power, speed, agility, and field strength, improving strength improves all these characteristics of good athletes and effective humans."
