Firmness \Firm"ness\, n.

Syn: {Firmness}, {Constancy}.

Usage: Firmness belongs to the will, and constancy to the

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.''
