  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.''
            [1913 Webster]

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) : [ web1913 ]
