firmness \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."
