Firm"ness, n. The state or quality
of being firm.
Syn. -- Firmness, Constancy. 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."
