Here, here!!!

Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913)"
Stable Sta"ble, a. OE. estable, F. stable, fr. L. stabilis,
   fr. stare to stand. See Stand, v. i. and cf. Establish.
   1. Firmly established; not easily moved, shaken, or
      overthrown; fixed; as, a stable government.

            In this region of chance, . . . where nothing is
            stable.                               --Rogers.

   2. Steady in purpose; constant; firm in resolution; not
      easily diverted from a purpose; not fickle or wavering;
      as, a man of stable character.

            And to her husband ever meek and stable. --Chaucer.

   3. Durable; not subject to overthrow or change; firm; as, a
      stable foundation; a stable position.

   Stable equibrium (Mech.), the kind of equilibrium of a body
      so placed that if disturbed it returns to its former
      position, as in the case when the center of gravity is
      below the point or axis of support; -- opposed to
      unstable equilibrium, in which the body if disturbed
      does not tend to return to its former position, but to
      move farther away from it, as in the case of a body
      supported at a point below the center of gravity. Cf.
      Neutral equilibrium, under Neutral.

   Syn: Fixed; steady; constant; abiding; strong; durable; firm.
