go from strength to strength
Keep getting better
To go from strength to strength is to achieve a series of successes, each building on the last: Since launching the new product line, the company has gone from strength to strength.
The phrase suggests sustained momentum and improvement rather than a single triumph.
Originally biblical, it now appears in business, sports, and personal contexts.
