Firmness In Webster's Dictionary

\Firm"ness\, n. The state or quality of being firm. Syn: {Firmness}, {Constancy}. Usage: Firmness belongs to the will, and constancy to the affections and principles; the former prevents us from yielding, and the latter from fluctuating. Without firmness a man has no character; ``without constancy,'' says Addison, ``there is neither love, friendship, nor virtue in the world.''
